The Ruling on Sale Involving Excessive Uncertainty (Gharar) and Ignorance with a Small Price

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And between men, why do you look into matters that contain [uncertainty] in the night of 'Umrah? Jihad and jihad, all of it is easy, this is the will.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to buy or sell with excessive uncertainty (gharar) and ignorance, even if the price is small, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited gharar and prohibited ignorance, and this is absolute whether the amount is small or large. What makes the small price lawful?
