The Criterion for Hoarding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the criterion for hoarding? And if a person buys the crops at the time of harvest and stores them until their price rises, then sells them, is this hoarding? Given that this storage may affect the rise in prices?
Answer:
If this restricts people in their basic necessities, then it is hoarding. Hoarding applies to food and essential items. So, if your purchase of the fruit or goods restricts people in their necessities, that is hoarding. But if it is in luxuries that are not essential, or if there is no restriction on people because food is available in the shops, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
