Abstract:
Being a follower of the Islamic ideology, it is not legal for a Muslim to live a life beyond the stated limits of the Islamic values; rather it is necessary to follow the Islamic values in every walk of life. However, we can see how social dealings and day to day affairs went side by side with the Islamic obligations in the life of Muhammad (S.A.W) and his followers. Purchasing and selling is one of those aspects which the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) had adopted in his life. Islam has promulgated very balance and appropriate principles for purchasing and selling in which both the purchaser and the seller have been considered properly in order to seek consent on both sides, and consequently nothing goes against their consent to keep them safe from cheating. Therefore, all those forms of purchasing and selling are illegal in Islamic laws in which there is cheating, imposture, or the cause of sins leading to a clash between the parties. In this article, the meaning of seizure, dealing before seizure and the four tenets (Hᾱnᾱfῑ, Shᾱfῑ, Hᾱnbᾱlῑ and Mᾱlῑkῑ) have been brought under discussion in light of the relevant Hadiths. Moreover, modern seizure and its kinds have also been highlighted, and at the end inferences have been added.
