Sharh · explanationclick to expand
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 ambiguity, deceit, and Laws of Islam violations. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ forbade Najash, which means bidding to raise the price without the intention of buying, but merely to deceive others into buying it for a higher price. The wisdom behind the prohibition in this regard is because it involves deceit and trickery of people. .
