Question
- If I give you two vape oils and say after one week you give me two vape oils in return and another different commodity such as a bottle of coke, will that be permissible?
- The double bubble is done by giving 3 vape oils back one extra as addition due to giving it back after one week, I understand that will not be permissible?

Answer
