Reserving Spots in Al-Haram for Those Who Pay
Dear sheikh, as-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah. There are current discussions in the media about the new phenomenon occurring in Al-Haram in Makkah where some people reserve spots in the first rows and then sell them to those who come late in return for some money, that could at times add up to three hundred dollars. So, what is the stance of Islamic Shari`ah as regards this conduct?
