reward, the equivalent of the rewards of those who follow him, without their rewards being diminished in any way. Whoever calls others to misguidance will bear a burden of sin equivalent to the sins of those who follow him, without their sins being diminished in any way.”

And (the third principle:

High and low prices do not arise solely from wrongdoing on the part of some people. They may also result from a scarcity of the desired goods being created or brought in. When demand for something increases while its supply decreases, its price rises; when its supply increases while demand decreases, its price falls. Scarcity and abundance may arise without any human involvement, or from a cause involving no wrongdoing, or from a cause involving wrongdoing. Allah Most High instils desires in people’s hearts.

Thus it is He—glory be to Him—as mentioned in the report:

“Prices may be high while desires are meagre, and prices may be low while desires are impoverished.”
