Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Ali Ahmad, asks: What is the najash mentioned in the hadith , Shaykh, regarding najash?
Answer:
Najash is when someone increases the price of goods without intending to buy them, but rather wanting to raise their value for others. This is najash, because it harms the one who wants to buy the goods, and this person has no intention of buying them; he only bids on them in order to increase the price for others. This is forbidden.
This is forbidden because it is aggression and harm to others. Therefore, no one should bid on a good except the one who wants to buy it. Do not sell over the sale of another. If a person sells a good to someone and gives him the option for a period, no one should come and say, "Leave it, and I will sell you something better than it." This is not permissible. Yes.
