The ruling on taking a commission from the customer for the sale of a car
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The second question, O Sa'id. The second question, may you live long. When we buy a car from car dealers and sell it to a customer, they ask for a commission from the customer. When the customer sells, they ask for a commission from the customer. Is this permissible or not? Thank you.
The Shaykh:
By Allah, my brother, this matter of commission and brokerage is not in doubt that it is permissible. However, taking a commission on his car, which he sold to someone else, and taking a commission on it—the commission is for the one who acts as an intermediary between the owner of the wealth and the buyer, the one who acts between them; that is the one who is entitled to the commission. As for this one who sells his wealth and takes a fee for it, we have not known this to be the case. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
