Advice for the one who bought a commodity at a price other than its market price
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. If I told my colleague who bought a commodity for one hundred riyals that there is a shop selling it for ninety riyals, does this fall under the statement: "Do not sell over the sale of another"?
The Shaykh:
No, this is not a loss. You tell him that there is a commodity cheaper than this, but you enter upon him—meaning, it is better for you not to say anything to him. It is better that you do not say anything, because you will enter upon him resentment and regret. Yes, you make du'a for him for blessing, and he is not bad.
The presenter:
Or the cheaper one first.
The Shaykh:
And the sale is now binding.
The presenter:
The benefit of your speech is only that you enter upon him regret and determination.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
