Compliance in Trade
قَالَ: وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى مَبِيعاً كَيْلًا أَوْ وَزْناً هَلْ يَصْلُحُ بَيْعُهُ مُرَابَحَةً
He said, ‘And I asked him-asws about a man who buys goods by measure or weight, can he sell them for a profit?’
قَالَ إِذَا تَرَاضَيَا الْبَيِّعَانِ فَلَا بَأْسَ فَإِنْ سُمِّيَ كَيْلًا أَوْ وَزْناً فَلَا يَصْلُحُ بَيْعُهُ حَتَّى يَكِيلَهُ أَوْ يَزِنَهُ
He-asws said: ‘If both seller and buyer agree, there is no problem. However, if it was purchased specifically by measure or weight, then it is not permissible to sell it until he measures or weighs it’’.[1]
