The questioner : The second question, which is a jurisprudential question: Suppose I am traveling to Sham, and you have entrusted me to bring you a specific item?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for you to profit at my expense unless you have stipulated it with me.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, may Allah reward you with good. He may have been entrusted with it.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Because this means, for example, that I am a person who was entrusted to buy a recorder?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And the recorder is known to be worth three hundred and fifty riyals in the market, but I was able to, with my skill.
The Shaykh : With your skill or your cleverness.
The questioner : For three hundred riyals, I told him this is three hundred and fifty, and I took the price of three hundred and fifty.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible, except in the case where one has stipulated it with you, where you said to me, I.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good. This is what, heh heh, even they do not say.
