Aslam

general Sign in to save

Is it permissible for a trader to earn more than 10% profit on goods?

Praise be to Allah.The

earnings a trader may make are not limited by sharee’ah, but it is not

permissible for a Muslim to cheat those who buy from him and to sell his

goods at a price that differs from the going rate in the marketplace.

Islam teaches Muslims not to seek a huge profit, but to be easygoing when

buying and selling, because the Prophet

(peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) urged an easygoing and tolerant attitude in dealings

with others.
