The ruling on purchasing goods that violate the order of the one in authority and trading in them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Goods enter our market from a neighboring country, and they are in violation of the order of the one in authority, meaning they enter without a permit. Is it permissible for us to buy them and trade in them?
Answer:
As long as it is among the permissible things that are lawful, there is no harm in that. However, the one who brought them in bears the responsibility before the government; the responsibility is on him. As for the lawful, it is lawful; it does not become unlawful.
The presenter:
Yes.
