Advice to car dealers in showrooms
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Abu 'Abdullah says: We ask the Shaykh for advice for those who buy and sell cars in showroom locations, where deception and excessive uncertainty occur. What is obligatory for them?
Answer:
They must be truthful in buying and selling, and they must not cheat, lie, or engage in fraud, and they must not take false oaths.
They must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and make their earnings pure, not corrupting them through cheating, deception, or concealing the defects of goods, such as hiding defects or beautifying the goods with what is not in them, beautifying them with what has no reality, so that the buyer is led to believe that this is its original state, when it is merely polished. This is not permissible; this is deception in goods. They must adhere to truthfulness and adhere to giving advice to their brothers. They must not engage in *najash*, which is when someone increases the price of a good whom does not want to buy it, but only wants to raise it for the others. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: *Najash* is when someone increases the price of a good whom does not want to buy it, but wants to raise it for the customers. Yes.
