The Ruling on Buying and Selling at Exorbitant Prices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There are people now who buy and sell goats at exorbitant prices,For example: for five thousand riyals, ten thousand, a million, and five hundred thousand riyals,And there is a saying of Allah: [Al-Nisa:5] , so what is your opinion?
My brother, this is a problem for us; because they are making this a paper for profit; because these goats or sheep are not worth this value. Is their meat a cure for every disease? Or is their milk a cure for every disease? But this is merely manipulation of profits, and the truth is that I wish the responsible authorities would intervene in this matter.
They say: If their ears are cut off, they become even more valuable, and perhaps if their hands and feet are cut off, they will be even more expensive after that.
In any case: A poor man may come and spend a million on them, and a calamity may befall them and destroy them in a single night, such as the measles.
Or an enemy of his may come and kill them without any indication, so I wish the responsible authorities would intervene in this matter to prevent this manipulation of people's money.
And do not give the weak-minded your property, which Allah has made a means of sustenance for you
وَلا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قِيَاماًMy brother, this is a problem for us; because they are making this a paper for profit; because these goats or sheep are not worth this value. Is their meat a cure for every disease? Or is their milk a cure for every disease? But this is merely manipulation of profits, and the truth is that I wish the responsible authorities would intervene in this matter.
