Can You Legally Sell Products with Unrealistic Claims?

Q: Is it permissible to sell a uct which claims unrealistic benefits e.g. If you rub this oil on your hands, you will get rich?

A: This is superstition. It is not at all permissible to entertain any type of superstition.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
