· 7 Rabiʻ I 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Could mufti advise on the following:

Person A owns a Cash n Carry, person B and person C both are his customer's and purchase from him. At the premises of person A, person B and C meet and start transacting on person A's premises. Person A in turns tells Person B that person C is my customer and you cannot supply him.

1. Is this type of clause permissable in shariah where person A stops person B from supplying person C as he feels it's his customer.

2. If person B and C transacted on person A's property, is the sale valid.

Answer

1. This clause is not permissible in shari'ah. Therefore, it is permissible for person B to supply person C and vice versa.

2. Yes, it is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
