The Difference Between Forbidden Hoarding and Storing Goods

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about the ruling on storing goods other than drinks and food in order to sell them at an appropriate time, and what is the forbidden hoarding?

Answer:
Forbidden hoarding is when one hoards what people need—people need food, drinks, and the materials people require. One does not hoard these in order to raise their prices against them. The hoarder is cursed, and the one who brings in goods is provided for, as in the hadith. As for luxuries that people do not need, there is no harm in storing them. Yes.
