Is it obligatory to give advice in a sale, such as the seller saying, "My house is not worth more than such-and-such amount"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So is it obligatory for me...
The Shaykh : Yes, it is obligatory.
The questioner : It is obligatory for me...
The Shaykh : No, sometimes a person has a special desire for this house. I know that its kind is sold for a certain amount, but I have a special desire for this house, so I buy it for one hundred, and that does not concern me. So, do you say that we must advise the buyer?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And we say, "We will not sell it for less than one hundred." I say there is no harm in selling it for one hundred, because he may have a special desire for this house.
The questioner : This buyer.
The Shaykh : The buyer's.
The questioner : But I, the seller... advice is necessary, you must advise him...
The Shaykh : If he says, "I want it for one hundred," I say, "No, we will not sell it for less than eighty."
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And that is a lie.
The questioner : No, it is not a lie... and I see in the house, meaning there are cracks in it...
The Shaykh : He knows... he is crazy.
The questioner : It is worth eighty.
The Shaykh : I inform him, look, there are cracks in it.
The questioner : I inform him?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And I tell him, "This is worth, by Allah, it is worth eighty."
The Shaykh : No, you do not tell him...
.
The questioner : The time is up, O Shaykh.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And if he bought it on his behalf without his permission and did not specify it in the contract, it is valid for him with approval, and the buyer is bound by ownership without it. And what is not dwellings, of what was conquered by force, such as the land of Sham, Egypt, and Iraq, is not sold, but rather leased. And it is not valid to sell the bottom of a well or what grows in its land of grass and thorns, and he owns it by taking it."
The Shaykh : But. Give us...
