Please, say about the store or stock of Grain is right or not? Please, say about that business jaiz or najaiz?
Answer
(Fatwa: 635/631=M)
Hoarding of grain in order to sell it in future when prices are high is not right if the citizens are affected by this hoarding: کما فی الدر المختار و غیرہ من کتب الفقہ But, if the citizens feel no problem as this is the case today then hoarding is allowed provided there is no other reason that makes it unlawful.
