Is it permissible to buy from a vegetable vendor who refuses to lower the price and swears he will not reduce it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Swearing in sales is reprehensible if the one doing it is truthful, and unlawful if he is a liar; because of the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Swearing makes a commodity marketable, but it deprives it of blessing." Buying from a seller who swears is permissible, but if a seller who does not swear is found, it is better to buy from him as a deterrent to the swearing seller.
