Question:
We conclude this session with one of the questions we received. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what are the conditions that Islam has established for trade to be lawful and for the fear of Allah to be observed in it?
Answer:
The default ruling for trade and transactions is permissibility, praise be to Allah, except for what evidence indicates is forbidden, such as riba (usury or interest), gambling, and the sale of forbidden items, the sale of prohibited goods, and likewise what involves deception, fraud, or shill bidding. These are forbidden sales. Yes.
