Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on not agreeing on the price before starting any work? Is this considered one of the prohibited forms of ignorance (jahl)?
Answer:
The wage must be specified in the contract, and the price of the item sold must be known and determined. Likewise, all contracts must be based on something specific and known; they must not be based on something unknown. Yes.
