The ruling on purchasing goods without a specified price
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The owners of wholesale shops display samples of the goods they have, and the shape and type are known, but sometimes they are not priced, so there is no price set for them. I purchase them without the price being specified. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh:
The price must be specified; the sale is not valid unless the price is specified. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The buyer is known and the item being sold is known. Yes.
