Stuffing the box of fruits with paper to make the buyer think it is full
(Part No. 13; Page No. 227)
A:
It is prohibited to
stuff things into boxes or containers of items intended for sale for the purpose of cheating the buyer into buying them thinking that they are part of the sold item. This is based on the Hadith in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) says,
"He who deceives us is not of us (is not my follower).''
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
