Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I told my colleague who bought an item for one hundred riyals that there is a shop selling it for ninety riyals, is this included in his sayingSahih Muslim 1412e?
Answer:
No, this is not selling. You tell him that there are items cheaper than this, but you are causing him regret. It is better that you say nothing to him; you are causing him resentment and regret. Yes, you should pray for his blessing. He did not consult you in the first place, and the sale is now binding, so there is no benefit in your words except that you are causing him regret and sadness. Yes.
