LessonsKitab al-Buyu: Offer, Acceptance, Binding Sales and Price ClarityQuiz

وَأَيُّهُمَا قَامَ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ قَبْلَ الْقَبُولِ بَطَلَ الْإِيجَابُ.
Translation: If either party leaves the session before acceptance, the offer lapses.

Before acceptance, departure by either contracting party ends the operative offer. The departure signals an end to that negotiating session.

If one person offers a book for 500 rupees and the other leaves without accepting, returning later and merely saying “accepted” does not bind the old proposal. A fresh, mutually agreed transaction is needed.
