Cunning is Forbidden Indeed, the Islamic religion wants a Muslim to deal with people in a straight manner - not to deceive or cheat them. Indeed, neither the cheater nor the deceiver are believers. Among the examples of deceiving is the way some traders behave in order to cheat each other, such as one who goes to another trader and tells him: Surely, this product is no good, so do not buy it.

He says this so that no one competes with him in buying that product, and if others listen to him, he can buy it in order to obtain maximum profits for himself. Verily, this act of cunning and the like are forbidden, as it is a form of deceiving, which a Muslim with true belief never does. Indeed, a Muslim does not cheat another Muslim nor does any act which causes harm to him.Indeed, a Muslim does not cheat another Muslim nor does any act which causes harm to him.
