The following is a translation from the Arabic book 'Mashroo’ Qaanoon Al-Buyoo’ Fee Dawlah Al-Islaamiyah', first edition by Ziyaad Ghazlaan. Article 12: It is the right of the Baa’i (seller) and Mushtari (buyer) to annul the trade as long as they are still gathered in the Majlis (sitting) of the ‘Aqd (contract) until the time that their bodies separate (depart).   Al-Bukhaari narrated from Hakeem Bin Hizaam (ra) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “The two traders (buyer and seller) have the choice (to cancel the trade) as long as they have not departed” or (in another version): “until they have departed” and the Wajhu-d-Dalaalah (evidential aspect/point) in the Hadeeth is that the Messenger of Allah (saw) gave the seller and buyer the choice between going through with the sales contract or annulling it until the time that they depart (from each other).

The following is a translation from the Arabic book 'Mashroo’ Qaanoon Al-Buyoo’ Fee Dawlah Al-Islaamiyah', first edition by Ziyaad Ghazlaan.
