Arabic text

2170 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَسَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «نَهَى عَنِ الْمُلَامَسَةِ وَالْمُنَابَذَةِ» زَادَ سَهْلٌ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: " الْمُلَامَسَةُ: أَنْ يَلْمِسَ الرَّجُلُ بِيَدِهِ الشَّيْءَ وَلَا يَرَاهُ، وَالْمُنَابَذَةُ: أَنْ يَقُولَ أَلْقِ إِلَيَّ مَا مَعَكَ وَأُلْقِي إِلَيْكَ مَا مَعِي "

Commentary

The buyer has every right to check and try the commodity prior to purchase, in order to know the quality, be it good or bad, and to see if it has any defects or not; and the consumer will decide accordingly, if he should purchase it for such and such a reasonable price. The transaction that affects this statutory right of the purchaser is an unlawful transaction and illegal. Lottery and these types of other prize drawing schemes, which have an uncertainty in the outcome, are all unlawful.
