The ruling on lowering the price when bringing in packages of a commodity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! I would like you to clarify the ruling on this transaction, which is that some commercial establishments lower the price of a commodity if you bring in ten packages of a specific item, for example, knowing that this establishment does not sell this commodity.
The Shaykh:
This is manipulation in buying and selling, and deception in the sale of weapons, because bringing in the packages is evidence of familiarity, and that their weapons are livestock that graze and drink. This is manipulation and injustice.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
So a person should not enter this place or engage in this work. Yes.
