Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He has a second point, saying: I sell and buy in a fruit and vegetable shop, and I see those around me cheating in their selling and buying. Am I required to advise them?
Answer:
Yes, you are required to advise them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a seller of food, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) put his hand into the food and found moisture at the bottom. He said, "What is this, O seller of food?" He said, "The sky has touched it," meaning the rain, O Messenger of Allah! He said, "Why did you not put it on top?"Riyad as-Salihin 1579 This indicates disapproval of the one who cheats people. And if you are certain that he is cheating people and he does not accept the advice, you must report him to the authorities. Yes.
