I came across the following post ⤵️

____ “Alhamdulillah today commenced a 5-Day intensive seminar by Sh. Sami Sugayr حفظه الله in the city of Unayzah, KSA at the masjid Sh. Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله used to teach in. Sh. Sami is explaining Furu' al-Fiqh by ibn Abdil-Hadi after Fajr, a Riyadh-Saliheen reminder after Asr Salah, a treaty by Ibn Taymiyyah "Raf' al-Malaam" after Asr, and "Usul Sittah" after Maghrib. During his Fajr class in fiqh, he mentioned a benefit related to bargaining when buying and selling. The one who doesn't have the skill of bargaining is referred to as "مسترسل Mustarsil". Normally when sellers are often asked for discounts, they usually raise the initial price of the item so as to sell the item for its actual price and not lose profit. For example, if an item costs 80 riyals, it would be announced for 100, then when asked for the discount it would sell for the original 80. There is nothing wrong with the seller's action. However, if the customer does not bargain the 100, then it is not permissible for the seller to sell it for that price. They must sell it for its actual price of 80. That is because the 20 extra was only added for the purpose of countering the bargainer's request. If there is no request, then the item must be sold for its original price of 80... ” [End quote]
