Sheikh Urges Farmers Not to Sell Produce to Hoarders

• Sheikh Jingir urges farmers not to sell produce to grain hoarders, expressing concern over the negative impact on the community
• He cautions against hoarding, citing ethical concerns and emphasizing the importance of cultivating food for the community’s well-being

Sheikh Muhammad Sani Yahya Jingir, the President of the Council of Scholars at the Jama’atu Izalatil Bidi’ah Wa Ikamatis Sunnah National Headquarters in Jos, Plateau State, has appealed to farmers to refrain from selling their cultivated produce to grain hoarders. In a recent interview with Aminiya, the prominent religious leader highlighted the potential negative impact of this practice on the community, especially considering the ongoing economic challenges.

Expressing concern about the resurgence of grain hoarding activities, Sheikh Jingir pointed out that individuals engaged in hoarding are taking advantage of the current affordability of produce, having previously garnered substantial profits from similar actions. He urged farmers to exercise patience during these challenging times. He emphasized that the food they cultivate will be essential for the community’s well-being in the future, given the difficulties faced in the last season.

The Sheikh also cautioned those involved in stockpiling food, stating that hoarding and subsequently inflating prices go against ethical principles and are displeasing to God.
