Question 815) - Is it necessary for the buyer to measure or weigh the product again after taking possession?

A: If he bought a product according to volume which is sold per volume, or according to weight which is sold per weight then consuming it or selling it is Haram until he reweighs it.*

* By Haram is meant Makruh Tahrimi. Jabir RDI. narrates that Rasulullaah SAW. forbade selling food until two scales have weighted, the scale of the first seller and the scale of the buyer. [Ibn Majah]. It is also clear that if the items were bought by amount then there is no need for the double weighing.
