The ruling on free merchandise offered with a purchase

The Shaykh:
Bigger. Yes. Free? Yes. He took its price from the first item. He took its price, added it to the price of the first item, and tells you the second one is free, because he included its price with the first. This is deception. Playing with people. How would he sit in the shop selling an item and give another one for free without losing money? No, he did not do this except that he took its price. Yes.

The questioner:
Or.

The Shaykh:
Deception, laughing at people and their minds. Yes.

The questioner:
Its price is known, yet he gives you an extra.

The Shaykh:
No, absolutely not. He gives you something useless, like a peel or something that looks nice but has no use. Do not think he is giving you something of value for free, absolutely not. It is either that he has taken its price, or that it has no use and no value.

The questioner:
If it is surplus stock. Surplus stock. Surplus stock. Surplus for easy disposal and planning.

The Shaykh:
And why did he not give the surplus to the poor? He should give it to the poor, may Allah reward them with good. Yes. Good. Or he is deceiving people. Yes. The ruling, if such a company occurs, is it permissible? The ruling is that this must be prevented. This is wrong and not permissible. This must be prevented. It is obligatory for the market inspectors and the people of the Ministry of Trade to prevent this deception in the markets of Muslims. These are all Western practices, brought from the West, deceptions of the West. Yes.
