Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, 'Ayd, says: In the hadith whose meaning I do not remember, he says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited selling from a traveler to a resident through a broker. What is the meaning of this hadith?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is valid. A resident does not sell to a traveler. The traveler is the one who brings his goods to the town, the one who brings goods to the town. So the broker does not go out and say to him, "I know the price better than you, let me sell them to you." This is not permissible; because it harms the people of the town who are in need of the goods. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSahih Muslim 1522a, that one should not approach the travelers to buy from them, or say, "I will sell to you because you do not know the price in the town"; because this harms the people of the town, it harms the people of the market. Yes.
