Summary
Sale in Islam rests on mutual consent, so a person should not force or pressure another party to sell or buy something they do not want. According to the scholars, a sale made under subtle pressure such as persuasion remains valid unless there is coercion or a life-threatening threat. Using or cultivating another person's land requires the owner's permission; without it the crops must be removed and rent may be charged, but if the owner agrees, the cultivator may take an agreed share of the yield as wages.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang tidak sewajarnya memaksa dan mendesak pihak lain untuk menjual atau membeli sesuatu yang tidak diingininya sebaliknya perlu menghormati pendirian masing-masing.
