Engage honestly and fairly when doing business transactions

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that there are three activities which bring blessings. The first is a sale with deferred payment, meaning a sale in which the buyer pays the seller at a later date. This type of transaction allows people to purchase items they need without having to pay all at once. Secondly, Muqaradhah is an agreement between two parties in which one party provides capital and the other provides labor or expertise in order to share profits from any venture they undertake together. Lastly, mixing wheat with barley for one's own house can also bring blessings; however this should not be done for sale as it would be considered fraud. These teachings remind us of the importance of being honest and fair when engaging in business transactions so that we may receive Allah’s blessing in our lives.
