Is it permissible to have two prices for the same product i.e.

Answer

Answering this question, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) said:

―Having two prices - a cash price and a credit price, while permissible, is Makrooh and callous (hard-heartedness and in conflict with Islamic morality - Murawwat). The higher credit price is apparently a stratagem for devouring interest (riba). While the transaction will be permissible (from the Fiqhi perspective), the seller should at least be told that it is Tashabbuh bir Riba, Makrooh and Khilaaf-e- Murawwat.‖

(End of Hadhrat Thanvi‟s

Fatwa)

That is: The Mufti should inform the mustafti questioner - of these facts. He should guide the mustafti and bring him closer to Allah Ta'ala, not drive a wedge between the Muslim and Allah Ta'ala with misguidance by issuing zigzag fatwas as has become the norm of today's maajin muftis.

A genuine mufti has insight and foresight. He does not simply extract dry juridical texts to display academic prowess. He takes into account prevailing circumstances and he guides Muslims to gain proximity to Allah Ta'ala.

In spirit, the higher credit price resembles riba. It is similar to the credit deals of the capitalists who seek to squeeze blood from a stone. They are driven to insanity by the touch of shaitaan. A Muslim's focus is on the Pleasure of Allah Ta'ala and the Reward in the Aakhirat. He therefore seeks ways of gaining Divine Pleasure, and one of the best ways is to keep the Makhlooq of Allah Ta'ala happy and not exploit them. The reward of credit and waiting patiently for repayment is substantially more than even Sadqah.

(Invalid sales)

In some countries it is the practice for farmers to sell fruit even before their appearance on the trees. A buyer would inspect the trees and estimate the potential crop yield. The deal is concluded without the fruit having appeared. If due to any disaster the fruit/trees are destroyed, the buyer is the loser. According to the Shariah this type of sale is baatil (haraam and not valid). Commenting on this haraam customary practice, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) said:

―Selling fruit before its appearance on the trees is bay' baatil (invalid sale). They (buyer and seller) themselves devour haraam and they feed others haraam. All those who buy and sell such fruit are involved in haraam. Those who consume such fruit being aware of the reality are sinful. However, while those who eat such fruit without being aware are not sinful, nevertheless they will rue having consumed it. They will perpetually experience the bitter consequences of having consumed haraam. It is like eating poison without being aware. While it is not sinful, the harm is established. Regarding the bitter consequences of eating haraam fruit without being aware, the harm is the resultant zulmat (spiritual darkness) of the heart.

If the common practice in a place (city/town) is to sell such fruit acquired by bay' baatil, then it is Waajib for a potential buyer to first ascertain the origin of the fruit.‖

(End of Hadhrat Thanvi's Fatwa)

Such is the evil consequence of consuming even halaal fruit acquired by means of bay' baatil. The spiritual darkness (zulmat) inhibits the desire for ibaadat and Taa-at (obedience). Now imagine the infinitely worse consequence of zulmat when devouring the haraam, rotten, carrion which SANHA, MJC and the rest of the Carrion Cartel halaalize. The zulmat of devouring these carrion chickens and meat, and the zulmat of dealing in stolen goods, in the proceeds of gambling and fraud is unimaginable.

In addition to spiritual diseases, even physical disease comes in the wake of the zulmat of consuming haraam.

Ilhaam and Kashf are forms of divine inspiration. Kashf has greater clarity than Ilhaam which generally requires fahm-e-saheeh (sound spiritual intellect) for its comprehension.

These states of inspiration occur to all and sundry. It is not restricted to Auliya. Kuffaar and even animals are recipients of kashf and ilhaam. Generally the kashf and ilhaam with which Allah Ta'ala inspires the hearts of the Auliya and pious Mu'mineen pertain to spiritual issues. On the other hand inspirations occurring to kuffaar pertain to the material creation of Allah Ta'ala - the world and the universe.

The so-called mindboggling strides in technology which are the effects of brainwaves of the atheist scientists, are in fact kashf and ilhaam from Allah Ta'ala. However, since there is only damnation and eternal residence in Jahannam for them in the Aakhirah, Allah Ta'ala grants them respite and worldly progress and prosperity in this short transitory earthly life.

The Qur'aan Majeed attributes the strides in technology to Allah Ta'ala. Thus the Qur'aan Majeed states:

―And it is He (Allah) who has created all pairs, and He has made for you ships and animals which you ride.‖

(Az-Zukhruf, Aayat 12)

―(He has created) horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and as adornment, and He will create that which you do not know.‖

(An-Nahl, Aayat 8)

In the context of this Aayat, the future creation refers to modern means of transportation about which the people could not ever im-

agine fourteen centuries ago. ―He (Allah) subjugated the ships for you so that they (the ships) may sail in the ocean with His command.

(Ibraaheem, Aayat 32)

―It is Your Rabb Who moves the ships for you in the ocean to enable you to seek His bounty.

Verily, He is Most Merciful to you.‖

(Bani-Israeel, Aayat 66)

There are many other Qur'aanic verses which attribute material/technological progress directly to Allah Ta'ala. It is Allah Ta'ala Who has created the human brain, and it is only He who inspires the minds with whatever He deems best and appropriate. Thus, Muslims should not be awed at the immense strides in the technology of the kuffaar. They will yet discover and invent such things which will make today's rockets and missiles antique.

Whatever achievement is acquired in the field of technology is purely the inspiration of Allah Ta'ala. If He so wishes, He can block all inspirations, and all technological advancement will come to a standstill. But in His Wisdom the respite decreed for the kuffaar necessitates crass carnal enjoyment and pleasure for the short stay vouchsafed for the kuffaar on earth.

As far as the Mu'mineen are concerned, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

―You have been created for the Aakhirah.‖ Our prosperity and happiness will be in Jannat, not in this dunya. Regarding the dunya, the theme of the Qur'aan in numerous Aayaat is: ―The life of this world is but play and amusement while the Abode of the Aakhirah is best for those who fear.‖ ―The life of this world is but a provision of deception.‖

"Considerable deviation (ghumraahi) has spread by virtue of these fake peers (spiritual guides). People have drifted far from the straight Tareeq. The deviation is such that the Tareeq has become a quandary to even Ulama."

(Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi)

Today the khaanqas have been transformed into merrymaking jaunts which have no relationship with the actual function of a khaanqah and the profession of the Shaikh. The purpose of a khaanqah is only Islaah-e-Nafs (moral reformation) to transform a person into a human being in the meaning of the Sunnah. The so-called spiritual guides are today bogus and their khaanqas are bogus.

The only way today for remaining on the Haqq and safeguarding Imaan and to be saved from moral and spiritual ruin, is to hold on firmly to the Sunnah and Shariah. In this regard, Allaamah Abdul Wahhaab Sha'raani (Rahmatullah alayh), a great Shaafi' authority of the 10th Islamic century said:

"Fudhail Bin Iyaadh (rahmatullah alayh) said: „Be steadfast on the Path of Huda (the Sunnah), then the paucity of the Saalikeen will not harm you. And, beware of the path of Bid‟ah, then the abundance of the destroyers (of the Deen) will not harm you.‟"

This advice has the greatest application to our era. There are no longer genuine Saaliken (Sufis) inhabiting this earth, and the destroyers of the Deen are innumerable. This is the age about which Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"Then there will dawn a time when the one who holds on to the Sunnah will be like one holding a burning coal."

Thus the safety of Imaan and Akhlaaq is absolutely reliant on obeying the Shariah and implementing the Sunnah the Sunnah as it has been transmitted to us reliably from the Sahaabah, not the lopsided, baatil, corrupt kufr interpretations of the Sunnah disgorged by the deviate zindeeq molvis, sheikhs and moron modernist intelligentsia with their string of donkey degrees.

Commenting on the interfaith kufr with which the NNB Clique (the so-called Jusa) is brainwashing maktab pupils, a Brother says:

―JUSA didn't make a mistake by inserting that passage about 'interfaith harmony' in it's corrupt ‗tafseer' of Surah Kafiroon. It was by no means a slip of the pen. It was the outcome of careful deliberation and discussion. And it's roots lie in the almost 20 year long dalliance with interfaith kufr of JUSA secretary general, Reverend Abraham Bham. He led his organization down the road to kufr. And if it does not apply brakes and bail out, in kufr is where it will end up, dragging those who follow it to damnation.

Their feats of evil from hijacking the mimbars to urge Muslims to soak their hands in the pig's blood of democracy to bringing najis kuffaar to the Bhamaphosa Eidgah - to turning friends of the court to keep the Masaajids closed - to green lighting + halaalizing first the J&J bio-weapon and then the even more deadly Pfizer kill-shot - to turning friends of the court a second time to back the Soros funded feminist Women's Legal Center pushing the deeply flawed kufr ‗Muslim' Marriages Bill, met., etc. - these and many other devilish shenanigans have placed the stamp of satanism and kufr on these deviated molvis.

What has JUSA not done to turn itself into the enemy of the Ummah? These are the Imaan snatchers whom the deviated Tabligh Jamaat group honour by attending and speaking at their Eidghah prayers.

(End of the Brother‟s comment)

Comment: This Reverend and those who are in cahoots with him have plunged into kufr many years ago. It is not a question of "will end up in kufr". They have crossed all boundaries of the Shariah to be in the cauldron of kufr in which they are today wallowing, burning and excreting.
