The Ruling on Auction Sales and Bidding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abdullah, from Riyadh, says: What is the ruling on selling at the *haraaj*? It is the wholesale sale of furniture, and the *haraaj* is held for it. Some people bid, this one bids and that one bids from the other side. This *haraaj* is open to the general public, O Shaykh.
Answer:
This is a good thing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sold by asking, "Who will offer more?" So an auction for the purpose of seeking a higher price for goods is permissible, it is a desirable matter, and there is no harm in it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
