Cancelling a deal after verbally accepting it
Question
If a person gives his word to someone regarding a business matter, no legal papers were signed, are you allowed to cancel it Islamically?

If there is a valid reason to cancel then you could cancel it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
