(Book 31, Hadith 102) #36443
Hiring Animals

SUMMARY: It is permissible to hire an animal and then re-hire it out for more than what was originally paid.

Malik related to me that he asked Ibn Shihab about a man who hired an animal, and then re-hired it out for more than what he hired it for. He said, "There is no harm in that".
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، يَتَكَارَى الدَّابَّةَ ثُمَّ يُكْرِيهَا بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَكَارَاهَا بِهِ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the permissibility of hiring an animal and then re-hiring it out for more than what was originally paid. The narrator, Malik, asked Ibn Shihab about this situation and he said that there is no harm in doing so. This hadith teaches us that we should be fair when dealing with others in business transactions. We should not take advantage of someone else's need or desperation by charging them too much money for something they are renting or buying from us. Instead, we should be honest and reasonable when setting prices so that everyone involved can benefit from the transaction.
