As you know , the rates of commodities are low these days and it is expected to return to the normal rates once the situation with regards to Corona gets better around the world in sha Allah . So if one wants to purchase a certain quantity of crude oil from a company at the current rate inorder to sell it to the them later at a higher rate is this permissible ? Kindly note that the purchase takes place online and the buyer is not going to possess it in hand , rather it is only considered to be under his name , and in reality it stays with the company itself .
