Selling with a Condition to Avoid Deception in Transactions

Permissibility of Selling with the Condition of No Deception


Written by: Imran Ayyub Lahori


Ḥaḍrat Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما narrates:
A man mentioned to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ that he was often cheated in sales. The Prophet ﷺ said:
«إذا بايعت فقل: لا خلابة»
“When you make a deal, say: ‘No cheating.’”
[Bukhārī: 2117, 2407, Kitāb al-Buyūʿ: Bāb mā yukrahu min al-khidāʿ fī al-bayʿ; Muslim: 1533; Aḥmad: 2/44; Abū Dāwūd: 3500; al-Nasāʾī: 7/252]


There is also a narration stating that the Prophet ﷺ gave him a three-day option, but Ḥāfiẓ al-Būṣīrī رحمه الله graded it weak.
[Miṣbāḥ al-Zujājah: 2/226]
