The Laws of Islam regulates people’s dealings and interactions when conducting sales and business transactions. It has laid down rules and principles clarifying the essential matters, to avoid disputes among people and help them conduct lawful and smooth business transactions that are free of disputes and Laws of Islam violations. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ underlines a principle governing sales transactions, namely, that a Muslim may not sell anything except after taking possession of it and there are no co-owners. Whoever buys edible commodities must not dispose of the purchased commodity by means of sale or any other form of disposal, except after taking it into his possession first; only then is he allowed to resell it. Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with them) stated that the Taqaabudh requirement is not merely required in the sale of foodstuff, but for all sales in general. .
