Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The profit earned by a merchant is not limited by a specific percentage according to Islamic law. However, it is not permissible for him to deceive the buyer by selling an item at a price unknown in the market. It is also prescribed for him not to be excessive in his profit, but rather to be lenient in his dealings.
