The ruling on placing prizes and gifts on goods
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him) Your Eminence, the father. The questioner says: Is what some stores do by placing some gifts permissible, or does it fall under the prohibition of selling with conditions?
Answer:
Fatwas have been issued on this stating that it is not permissible for stores, shops, or small shops to place prizes on goods. This is because it harms people in two ways. First, it encourages people to buy things they do not need, when in fact they only want the prize. Second, they harm other shops that do not offer these prizes, causing customers to turn away from the shops that have no prizes. Therefore, this is prohibited. Yes.
