It is one of the publicly shared resources and therefore may not be sold; rather, it must be offered to anyone who needs it—whether that need is for its fuel, such as firewood; for a live ember to carry; or simply for warmth.

Allah has distributed them among His creatures, and human necessity depends upon them. To withhold them, or to obstruct a needy person’s access to them, is impermissible and is a base act detested by Islam’s magnanimous ethos.
