Sahih al-Bukhari 2175 (Book 34, Hadith 125) #2088
Exchange of Gold and Silver

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to exchange gold for gold or silver for silver unless they are equal in weight, but it is permissible to exchange gold for silver or vice versa.

Narrated Abu Bakra: Allah's Messenger said, "Don't sell gold for gold unless equal in weight, nor silver for silver unless equal in weight, but you could sell gold for silver or silver for gold as you like".
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلاَّ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ، وَالْفِضَّةَ بِالْفِضَّةِ إِلاَّ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ، وَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْفِضَّةَ بِالذَّهَبِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the rules of exchanging gold and silver. According to this hadith, it is not allowed to exchange one type of metal with another type unless they are equal in weight. However, it is allowed to exchange one type of metal with another as long as the weights are equal. For example, if someone has a certain amount of gold and wants to buy an item that costs a certain amount of silver, then he can do so by exchanging his gold with the same amount of silver that he needs. This hadith teaches us about fairness in trading and encourages us to be honest when dealing with others. It also reminds us that we should always weigh our items accurately before making any transactions so that we can ensure fairness between both parties involved in the transaction.
