What is the Sharia ruling on dealing with an employee who sells phone cards and cheats buyers by raising the price afterwards, given that he is a government employee?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Selling cards has three scenarios: First, an agreement on a price (30 dirhams) which must be paid. Second, an agreement on a price (28 dirhams), and there is no obligation to pay more. Third, no agreement on the price, in which case the contract is void, and the cards or their equivalent must be returned. If the seller intentionally avoids agreeing on a price to exploit people, they can be prevented if possible.
