- Is it permissible to sell a commodity by adding a compulsory amount to be donated on behalf of an unknown person, and will the buyer be rewarded for that? - Is it permissible for me, as a seller, to ask the buyer to donate an unspecified amount on behalf of an unknown person as a condition for completing the sale? - What is the ruling on Arab and Muslim sellers exploiting their country's scholarship students by selling them goods at higher prices than they sell to others? - What is the ruling on one who displays goods without clarifying their defects, and is it permissible for others to reveal these defects, and what is the ruling on lack of clarity in buying and selling?
It is permissible for the owner of a commodity to sell it for more than its value. If he intends to donate a portion of its price, he will be rewarded for that. However, if he lies about his intention to donate in order to attract people to buy from him, he is sinful and commits falsehood, which eradicates blessings, and he bears the burden of that. If he is truthful in his intention, there is no blame upon him. The buyer will be rewarded for his good intention if he aims to help the seller in his charity.
