The Criterion for Profit in Buying and Selling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This messenger, Abu Mahir, says: Is profit in buying and selling that is more than half permissible or forbidden?
Answer:
Profit in buying and selling follows the price; it follows the market price. So it does not exceed what the item is worth in the market, nor does it harm the buyer, nor does it exploit the buyer’s need, nor does it exploit the buyer’s lack of shrewdness, such as children and women. He must be truthful and make a profit according to what the item is worth in the market and what its like is sold for. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
