Buying in bulk due to fear rising from the Middle East conflict
Question
With the recent conflict in the Middle East, we are bound to be worried. Recently, the President of Brazil had called out to the the President of South Africa stating that we should be prepared and ready as our country is at a risk of getting invaded.
Some Ulama have called out in the Western Cape saying that we should stock up and store goods.
My question is, is it permissible to buy in bulk and store items?
Answer
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
