The ruling on selling local meat as if it were Romanian

The questioner : So, what about the one who sells meat to the Omani as if it were local? The one who sells meat to the Omani as if it were local?

The Shaykh : A deceiver. Whoever deceives us is not one of us.

The questioner : So, and the Bulgarian as if it were Romanian? Is it the same thing?

The Shaykh : Go back to your place, it is the same thing. There are people who do what? It is in you. Local, local. Of course, if there were no people doing this, there would be no cause.

The questioner : They sell it as Romanian because the Bulgarian is slaughtered outside, so they sell it as Romanian, slaughtered inside, and the Romanian is slaughtered inside, so they sell it as if it were local.

The Shaykh : A type of deception.

The questioner : So, what is the ruling on the one who sells in this thing, meaning?

The Shaykh : Did not his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) suffice you?

The questioner : I mean, for example, I am a snorer.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.

The questioner : Strange, I mean.

The Shaykh : I know.

The questioner : Good. And may Allah keep you safe, if Allah wills. For example, I work, and the shop owner comes and says to me, "You sell what is asked of you as if it were local." Is it permissible for me to do this and not work with him?

The Shaykh : It appears that if we were to say it is permissible, it is that you have never heard his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) But if you have heard it, as I think, it is not permissible. Did you hear this hadith a long time ago?

The questioner : So, which is greater, the price?

The Shaykh : No, you did not answer me.

The questioner : I heard, yes.

The Shaykh : Why did you not answer?

The questioner : I am enjoying it.

The Shaykh : So, is it permissible in disobedience to Allah? If so. What else do you want to ask now? We missed seeing which one is it? Did you forget your question?

The questioner : Yes, no. Money, I mean.

The Shaykh : I am thinking about the answer. There is a hadith. A man ordered the killing of another. He ordered a group to kill another. They all participated and killed him. Which of them is greater in sin? It may come to mind that it is those who directly committed the killing. But the truth is that it is the one who ordered it. So, the one who orders disobedience to the one who is ordered is greater in crime than the one who is ordered, and they share in the sin. And Allah is the Helper.

The questioner : Lying, deception, our Shaykh. Lying, deception. Is this Bulgarian? Lying, no,

The Shaykh : Is it because.

The questioner : Any deception, like this, he deceives.

The Shaykh : Because if, for example, he was selling local. And this is of course imagination in this country, if he was selling local and saying this is Bulgarian, this is lying but it is not deception, right? But this does not happen.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, we have some blue restaurants. They hang the local lamb leg.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.

The questioner : They sell it to people, of course, cut, prepared, cleaned. The leg dries, it is permissible to leave it hanging for two days, on the basis that if the health inspectors or people come, this is the meat, but the ground meat and such, Allah knows best about it.

The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest. Yes.

The questioner : Present.

The Shaykh : Whoever deceives us is not one of us.

The questioner : Come on, nice.

The Shaykh : Perhaps you know his saying (peace and blessings be upon him). What is its relevance? What is the occasion for saying "Whoever deceives us is not one of us"? He (peace and blessings be upon him) went down to the market and saw a seller selling wheat. He extended his hand and took a handful from inside, and if it was inside, it was wet, moist, damp, and its back was dry. He said to him, "What is this, O so-and-so?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, it was hit by the rain." He said, "Did you put this on top of this?" And this can be the appearance that the Messenger touched, which was natural, meaning that this rain fell on the pile of wheat, and as soon as the surface dried, the surface was correct, so he left it as it was, like a man, I mean. So, he is not a deceiver, but the Messenger said to him, "Since you know that it was hit by the sky and you know that it was not inside, its condition is different from the outside, did you turn it over? Did you reveal its inside and hide its outside? Whoever deceives us is not one of us." How much difference is there between this and what you are asking about?

The questioner : Perhaps he is truthful, of course, our Shaykh, the merchant.

The Shaykh : We do not say he is truthful. It was hit by the sky and he left the pile as it was.

The questioner : They sell wholesale in the vegetable market and the merchants, I mean, he buys ten boxes of oranges, ten tomatoes, and so on. So when he comes to sell them, he sells them with the same problem. I read it, I mean, he increases the price, but in reality, it is known to everyone and to any buyer that this is the face of the tomato, the big one, and underneath the small one, the peeled orange, peeled.

The Shaykh : All deception.

The questioner : So you say it is not.

The Shaykh : And I bear witness that there is no god but You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
