He called on traders to shun the use of unjust measurement, purposely meant to cheat and defraud customers.




The cleric called on Muslim traders to be honest while dealing with their customers, especially as it concerns using the right and appropriate containers for measurement.


He also advised that Muslim traders should not at any time, for any reason, engage in the selling of fake or substandard products, or reduce the quantity of items they sell.

“Allah says in the Holy Qu’ran, Sura 83: 1-6 : “Woe to those people, who reduce measurement.
