Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Scholars have opined that there is no limit to profit that would make exceeding it unlawful. A merchant should be lenient in his dealings, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "May Allah have mercy upon a man who is lenient when he sells, when he buys, and when he demands payment."
