Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I buy an item for one riyal, for example, and then sell it for four riyals, is this considered deceiving people?
Answer:
If this goes against the market price, it is not permissible. Sell as people sell, according to the market price, and do not deceive the naive, the child, the woman, or the stranger who does not know. Sell as people sell at the market price. Yes.
