The Limits of Profit in Trade
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is profit in trade limited? In other words, is it permissible for a person to sell an item for twice what he paid for it?
The Shaykh:
This follows the market; it follows the market, and it is a dispensation. The One who sets the price is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So you sell it for what it is worth in the market. The price may rise, it may fall, or it may stay in the middle. This is what is considered: what it is worth in the market. Yes.
The presenter:
The sky has ended.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
