Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 4496, he asks: Does bidding against a bid, or outbidding, fall under this?
Answer:
As long as he is calling out for more, there is no harm. However, if the bidding has ended and he wants to sell, he should not say to him, “Wait, I have more.” This is not permissible for him if the owner of the goods is content with selling them, in which case you do not intervene. But as long as he is calling out, “Is there more? Who will bid more?”, you bid along with the people. Yes.
