Q
What is the significance of ensuring full measure in transactions before reselling foodstuff?
A
Ibn `Umar told us that the people used to buy food from the caravans in the lifetime of the Prophet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to forbid them to sell it at the very place where they had purchased it (but they were
to wait) till they carried it to the market where foodstuff was sold. Ibn `Umar said, ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) also
forbade the reselling of foodstuff by somebody who had bought it unless he had received it with exact
full measure.’
