Question:
The questioner says: Regarding the noble verse, the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Al-Mutaffifin 83:1-3] Is this giving less than is due specifically in measuring? And does it include other matters?
Answer:
Yes, it includes other matters, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-A'raf 7:85] Therefore, it is not permissible to commit fraud in sales, or to reduce the goods in sales, or to deceive regarding the goods by displaying them in a good appearance when they are not so, meaning to adorn them and make them look good. All of this is not permissible; it is all fraud, deception, and consuming the wealth of people unjustly. Yes.
