Ruling on selling the concrete remaining in the mixer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin this episode with a question from the listener Abu Mazen. He says: In cement concrete factories, we sell ready-mixed concrete to customers. For example, when a customer orders ten meters of concrete, there is sometimes one or two meters of concrete left in the mixer after pouring. If it is thrown on the ground, the municipality imposes a fine on the factory. The question is: Is it permissible for the factory to sell these remaining meters of concrete to another customer and take the price without the knowledge of the first customer, who owns the remaining meters?
Answer:
If it belongs to the first customer, it is not permissible to sell it except with his permission and approval. But if it belongs to you, you may dispose of it as you wish. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
