Ruling on Unauthorized Sale (Bayʿ al-Fuḍūlī)
✍ Written by: Imran Ayyub Lahori
Bayʿ al-Fuḍūlī refers to selling someone’s property without their permission. This type of sale is permissible only if the owner later approves it; if the owner, after coming to know of it, accepts and keeps the transaction, it is valid — otherwise, it is not.
Imām Mālik, Imām Aḥmad, and the Ḥanafī scholars all hold this opinion.
[Mirqāt: 6/88; Tuḥfat al-Aḥwadhī: 4/490; Ḥāshiyat Ibn ʿĀbidīn: 4/47; al-Qawānīn al-Fiqhiyyah, p. 260]
