The answer

The basic principle is that whoever possesses something through a sound, lawful ownership is permitted to dispose of it as they wish, whether by selling or gifting. If there is no explicit law from the state preventing this, then there is no harm in selling. However, if there is a law that temporarily prohibits disposal by sale, this falls under the restriction of what is permissible for the public good, and people must abide by it.
