Auction sales and whether they fall under the prohibition of bidding over another’s bid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is called an auction sale, or a sale under the microphone. He says: Does it fall under the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding bidding over another’s bid?
Answer:
It does not fall under bidding over another’s bid if the auction has ended and he wants to sell to one of the attendees. If someone comes and says, “No, I will wait; I have more,” that is not permissible for him. That is it; the auction is over. Do not step forward and cut off the path of your brother to whom the sale was directed. Yes.
