!['MANNERS OF TRADE IN ISLAM
Assalamu Alayikum our beloved brothers and sisters, today we are going to discussing some of Manners of Trading in Islam. It is our humble request to our valuable readers that DON'T forget to share it. May Allah (SWT) bless us our business. Ameen
In general, trade is lawful and permissible in Islam, for it is an exchange of products between the buyer and seller. But when harm may be incurred to either of the two parties, the trade is deemed unlawful and prohibited.
Allah (SWT) says in Holy Quran, Surah 4:29 an-Nisa “O YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED, DO NOT CONSUME ONE ANOTHER’S WEALTH UNJUSTLY BUT ONLY [IN LAWFUL] BUSINESS BY MUTUAL CONSENT…”
Islam has deemed the profits made from trade of the purest and best means of earning a living.
The Prophet (SAW) was asked about which earning was best and most pure, and he replied: “WORK DONE BY A PERSON USING HIS OWN HANDS [I.E. MANUAL LABOR] AND EVERY TRUTHFUL AND SINCERE TRADE.” [Ahmad]
Islam has enjoined that the individual be truthful while conducting business.
The Prophet (SAW) said “A MUSLIM MERCHANT WHO IS TRUTHFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY WILL BE WITH THE MARTYRS ON THE DAY OF REQUITAL.”
[Al-Haakim]
One should explain any faults which may not be apparent in the product.
The Prophet (SAW) said: “IT IS IMPERMISSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SELL ANYTHING EXCEPT IF HE CLARIFIES ANY FAULT THAT MAY BE FOUND IN IT, AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS OF IT SHOULD (ALSO) CLARIFY IT.” [Ahmad]
One should not cheat. Abu Hurairah (R-A) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) passed by a pile of food. He put his hands inside it and felt water on his fingers. He said: “WHAT IS THIS, O SELLER OF (THIS) FOOD?” HE SAID: 'IT WAS LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN, O MESSENGER OF ALLAH!” HE SAID, “COULD YOU NOT HAVE PUT IT ON TOP OF THE FOOD SO THAT PEOPLE COULD SEE IT? WHOEVER DECEIVES (PEOPLE) IS NOT FROM US.” [Muslim]
A person should be truthful in his dealings and not lie.
The Prophet (SAW) said: “THE TWO PARTIES (INVOLVED IN THE TRADE) HAVE AN OPTION (TO CANCEL THE TRADE) AS LONG AS THEY HAVE NOT PARTED. IF THEY HAVE BOTH TOLD THE TRUTH AND CLARIFIED ALL ASPECTS, THEIR TRADE WILL BE BLESSED FOR THEM. BUT IF THEY CONCEAL (FAULTS AND OTHER ASPECTS) AND LIE, THE BLESSINGS OF THE TRADE WILL BE WIPED OUT.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
One should not swear oaths when he trades.
The Prophet (SAW) said: “BE CAREFUL AND STAY AWAY FROM SWEARING MANY OATHS WHEN TRADING, FOR [IF HE DOES SO FALSELY] THE BUYER WILL BUY, BUT THEN ITS BLESSING WILL BE WIPED OUT.” [Muslim]
It encourages that one take back the sale if a person is regretful of the purchase.
The Prophet (SAW) said: “WHOEVER TAKES BACK THE SALE OF HIS BROTHER, ALLAH WILL TAKE BACK [THE PUNISHMENT] OF HIS SLIPS ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION.” [Abu Dawood & ibn Maajah].'](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/s403x403/10425404_1441287856162022_5680665720231250326_n.jpg?oh=926abc19df68144613ab98e209613648&oe=557F4EF9&__gda__=1435272488_34f7d06285dedf00e54a037c43310360)
