Question:
In the noble verse in Surat al-Mutaffifin[Al-Mutaffifin 83:1-2], what are the things that fall under this measuring?
Answer:
In measuring and weighing, nothing is to be deducted from it.[Ar-Rahman 55:9] He should establish justice and give full measure and weight, giving full measure and weight, and not deprive people of their things or diminish them, thereby betraying them in that. He must fear Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And the same applies to all other goods; nothing is to be deducted from them in a way that is hidden from the buyer without his knowledge? Yes.
In the noble verse in Surat al-Mutaffifin
(1) Woe to those who give less [than due], (2) Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَAnswer:
In measuring and weighing, nothing is to be deducted from it.
And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.
وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ
