Question
Zaid and Imraan were conduction a transaction. Imraan put forward an offer with a certain condition. Zaid said that the condition is not permissible and the mas'alah states so. Imraan said: "I'm not worried about mas'alah masaa-il. If you want to go forward with the deal then this is the way I want it. Take it or leave it." Zaid was taken aback. Nevertheless, he structured the deal to comply with the Shariah. My question is: What is the consequence of Imraan's words? Did Zaid act correctly by concluding the deal with Imraan?
Answer
Imraan's statement is kufr. His statement in fact is a rejection of the Shariah. He should repent and renew his Imaan and Nikah. Zaid erred by concluding the transaction with Imraan who implied rejection of the Shariah. When Imraan uttered the kufr, he became a murtad. It is not permissible to trade with a murtad.
