Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the purchase of goods and household necessities from shops by children considered valid or not? The simple and easy items.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. As for the large items, if their prices are fixed and the child’s representative comes and you give it to him, and he pays you the value, then there is no gharar (excessive uncertainty in a contract) in it and no ambiguity; there is nothing wrong with it. But if their prices are not fixed and the child is the one who speaks with you about reducing the price and you sell to him, no, this is not permissible, because you may cheat him and he does not know. Yes.
