[87] BUYING AND SELLING IS LAWFUL
. OTyilj
[87] The author ? said: Know that selling and buying is lawful if the
transaction is done in the market of the Muslims based on the ruling of the
Qur’an and Sunnah without involvingdeceit or injustice or deception or
(something) contrary to the Qur’an or contrary to the knowledge.
COMMENTARY
We believe that buying and selling is lawful. Allah the Most High says:
C
“...Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (Usury)...”
[Qur'an 2: 275]
“O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves
unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent...”
[Qur'an 4: 29]
444 Sbnrh ns-Sunnnh
“O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the
Salah (prayer) on Friday (Jumu’ah prayer); come to the remembrance
of Allah [Jumu’ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salah (prayer)] and
leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you
did but know. Then when the (Jumu’ah Salah (prayer) is ended, you
may disperse through the land, and seek bounty of Allah (by working
etc.)... ” [Qur'an 62: 9-10]
Allah saysregarding the mosques:
“...Therein Glorify Him (Allah) in the mornings and in the afternoons
or in the evenings. Men whom neither trade nor sale (business) divert
from the Remembrance of Allah (with heart and tongue) ...” [Qur'an
24: 36-37]
Buying and selling do not divert them. He (Allah) did not say, ‘they do not buy
and sell.’ Rather, He says, their trade does not divert them from the
remembrance of Allah. So they attend the mosque, perform the Salah in
congregation, and then leave for their buying and selling.
Business transaction is one of the purest ways of earning if it is free
from deception and fraud; and also free from unlawful materials, forbidden
