Receiving car owners who are arriving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, what is the ruling on brokers receiving car owners who are residents of the town when they arrive to sell their cars at auction? They ask either to buy the car, or to have brokers who negotiate the sale of their cars in exchange for a percentage of the car's value?
Answer:
If the car owners are from the town, there is nothing wrong with it. But if the car owners are from outside the town and are arriving to sell their cars, this is receiving travelers, receiving those who bring goods in; it is not permissible. Yes. Brokerage and commission are subject to custom, the custom of the people. Yes.
