Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Various types of weekly discounts are held in some commercial markets. Is it permissible for a person to intend to go to these places for this purpose? And what is the ruling on what is called cards that are distributed for these matters?
The Shaykh:
All these tricks are not permissible; because they harm the merchants and market owners who do not engage in these things. So this thing harms them, and it is not permissible to do what harms the people of the market and diverts customers from them. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It resembles the meeting of caravans which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. Yes.
