The questioner : Also, he asks: What is the ruling on selling used items? He means gold, i.e., with light use, at the new price?
The Shaykh : Selling gold that has been used lightly at the price of new gold is forbidden if it involves deception by the seller, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1315Sahih (Darussalam). And if there is no deception, such as if the seller informs the buyer that it is used, then the buyer has entered the transaction with full knowledge.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And he should also inform him that the price he has set is the price for new gold. This is permissible if the buyer is satisfied with that and is someone from whom generosity is permissible.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The Shaykh : Selling gold that has been used lightly at the price of new gold is forbidden if it involves deception by the seller, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever cheats, he is not one of us.
