Summary
Selling an item that has already been reserved, with the price agreed, to another buyer is forbidden. The prohibition rests on hadith against selling or buying over a fellow Muslim's transaction, in order to prevent disputes and enmity. If the sale is nonetheless carried out, the majority of scholars hold the contract valid, but both seller and buyer are sinful. The seller is advised to seek the first buyer's permission and discuss with him before selling to anyone else.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
