2.6 The Prohibition of Gharar (uncertainty, deception)

In this episode, we talk about deceptive business practices known as Gharar. 

Abu Hurairah states, “The Prophet forbade selling by way of tossing stones to settle a sale (Al-Haasah), and the sale of Gharar.” (Muslim)

What is Gharar?

Uncertainty, hazard, chance, risk, delusion, deception, danger, peril...

Gharar is:

• to make someone believe something that is false or vain.
• to put someone in a dangerous position due to deception.
  outwardly
• it looks very attractive but in reality it is something much different.
