[UNDERSTANDING FROM THE HADITH]
1) Mulamasa is a type of transaction whereby a person buys a piece of clothing without opening and seeing it. Additionally, buying something in the dark or without seeing it and only touching it is also called Mulamasa. It is not allowed because there is a potential loss for one party of this transaction.
2) Munabadha is a type of transaction whereby the salesman throws a piece of clothing (or goods etc.) at a customer who is not able to open and check it, and then the customer is obligated to buy it. In the period of ignorance this type of transaction was prevalent whereby one party of people made a loss, therefore Islam prohibited this type of transaction.
3) Islam is a perfect and a complete religion which contains the guidance for all aspects of life.
4) Trade is not another name for cheating, rather it is the expression of trust and honesty.
