Is it permissible to purchase goods that are suspected of being stolen because their price is lower than usual?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : Is it permissible to purchase goods that are suspected of being stolen because their price is lower than usual, as happened with the goods that came from "Lebanon"?
The Shaykh : This is a possibility that has degrees, and rulings are not based on suspicions and illusions. If the possibility is based on a strong presumption, then it is not permissible to purchase these goods. Most of the rulings of the Shari'ah are based on what the person obligated to act presumes to be the case. As for a mere thought that occurs, it is not permissible to follow it or respond to it, because it leads to obsessive doubts and illusions.
Yes.
