The Ruling on Bargaining in a Sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If several people bargain over a camel, and then I place the sar (a type of saddle or covering) on one of them, I am certain that the sale is concluded, because what is the point of bargaining except that one intends to buy?
Answer:
No, bargaining does not make the sale obligatory. The sale is only completed by the offer and acceptance, by the contract, the offer and acceptance. That is, the seller actually says it, and the buyer says, "I have bought it."
