What is the ruling on selling a sheikh's turban, which was donated to a charity, for an exorbitant amount in a public auction?
The aforementioned transaction is an auction sale, or what is known as a public auction, which is permissible by consensus, provided certain conditions are met. This type of sale is an exception to the prohibition of buying over another's purchase and bidding over another's bid. The permissibility of this transaction is rooted in the hadith of Anas ibn Malik about the Prophet (peace be upon him) selling a saddle and a cup, as well as the practice of some scholars and the approval of the Companions. It is permissible for the seller to sell his goods and profit from them as long as there is no deception or fraud. This transaction is permissible and there is no harm in it, especially if its intention is to encourage competition in donations and charitable work.
