Machine translationRead the Arabic original
'Aid 'Abassi: Is it permissible to purchase goods that may be 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 preponderance of probability, then it is not permissible to purchase these goods. Most of the rulings of the Shari'ah are based on what is most likely in the mind of the one obligated. As for a mere thought that occurs, it is not permissible to follow it or respond to it, because it leads to waswasah (whispers) and illusions. Yes.
'Aid 'Abassi: What is meant by the word "al-qarn", knowing that the questioner returned to Lisan al-'Arab and found in it that it is said al-qarn is one hundred years, and its plural is qurun, and in the hadith that he wiped the head of a boy and said "live a qarn," so he lived one hundred years, and al-qarn of people are the people of one time period.
