Purchase of Seized Goods a Contemporary Jurisprudential Study: Supporting the National Economy to Achieve Sustainable Development

Abstract

Global, international and local markets are known to seize a large number of goods, some of which are spoiled and destined for destruction, and some of which are safe and end up in the auction market. Traders pose several problems regarding participation in purchasing these goods seized by customs and the competent authorities. This research monitors a set of important provisions and controls.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is distinguished in this sensitive aspect by seizing prohibited goods, unlicensed goods, or goods that have suffered a defect that harms public health, and they will either be destroyed or sold at auction to support the state treasury.

The research objectives were the most important:

1. Providing legitimate answers to the questions of merchants whose goods have been seized and who wish to participate in auctions in the hope of winning their goods again at reasonable prices.
2. Monitoring a group of miscellaneous provisions and controls related to this topic in one place.
3. Proving the ability of Sharia to find appropriate solutions to people’s calamities in their lives.

This research concluded with a set of scientific results that we explained at the end of the research.

The research also concluded with a set of important recommendations listed at the end, which are relevant and related to the field of this research.
