Question:
He also asks: A man sold an item to a wealthy man at a certain price, then a poor man came and he sold it to him, and he was pleased with the price. The wealthy man found out and came to reprimand him. What is the ruling on this sale?
Answer:
He sold it, and the matter is concluded. However, it is possible that the wealthy man had offered a price for it but it was not sold to him, or he was promised that it would be sold to him but the sale was not contracted. In that case, the seller is free to do with his property as he wishes, or to sell to whomever he wants. But if the sale was completed by offer and acceptance, and there is no option to cancel, then it is binding. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
