The customer gaining ownership of the goods after the sale is concluded

Q: A supplier sold fabric to a customer and delivered it to him. The fabric has not been paid for by the customer and it is highly unlikely that the customer is in a position to pay due to his severe financial debts. Do the goods belong to the supplier or customer?

A: After the goods are sold to the customer, they will belong to the customer.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
