When auctioning

A: It is not permissible for the buyer to press the seller to sell his commodity under the pretext that it is too old or a certain price is the accurate value of it. One of the conditions of selling is the mutual agreement between the buyer and the seller without any compulsion. Allah (Exalted be He) says, (Part No. 13; Page No. 117) O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Sale transactions should be based on mutual agreement. (Related by Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban). If the seller is compelled to sell his commodity, he will have the option either to complete the transaction or to annul it. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
