The Sale and Purchase of Houses and Lands in Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, a questioner has sent you this inquiry. He asks: What is the correct view regarding the sale and purchase of houses and lands in Makkah?
Answer:
You wish to know the people’s situation regarding their houses. Houses in Makkah have been bought and sold since the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They are bought and sold. The correct view is that it is permissible to own them, sell them, and buy them. If it were not permissible, Makkah would have become a ruin. No one would sit in it, seeking houses, seeking shops, or seeking [other things]. If you prevented ownership there, it would become an abandoned land. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
