The Sale and the Bid on the Sale and Bid of a Disbeliever

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “and he does not sell”
over his brother's sale, nor is he to propose to whom his brother has proposed.على بيع أخيه، ولا يخطب على خطبة أخيه
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1134Sahih (Darussalam)
, does that mean it is permissible to sell on the sale of a disbeliever and bid on the bid of a disbeliever?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Transgressing against people is not permissible, even if he is a disbeliever; you do not transgress against him. Islam is the religion of justice
and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىٰ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:8]
