SELLING THE GIFT, Entrepreneur Attitude or Excessive ? (2)

From the entrepreneurship, the principle is acceptable. About earning money without money. People selling their packet to get some money and the product they sell is free. So, they don’t need a capital to earn money. But, what about their ethic? The good moral and attitude? It is acceptable?

In my opinion, it is not! What about you? There is another phenomena lately. At Idul adha this year, one of Islamic Great Day, Moslem sacrifice goat and cow and share it to people needed. It establishes in every mosque in the city or village. In the biggest mosque in Jakarta, Istiqlal Mosque there is held a big Idul Adha event. They slaughter hundreds of goat and cow and shared it to poor people in that area. But, there is something shocked me in that pure day. Being reported that one of the citizen came to get the sacrifice meat and sell it again consciously. He told that he has a market in his home and consciously will sell again the free gift with normal price. He also offers some citizens there, to sell their meat to him with a half price. He said that his activity is not inflict a financial loss to other. There are also some citizens who sell their meat to him because they said that they can’t cook the meat or they have to take a long trip to back home. So they choose to sell it in a half price. They feel that they doesn’t lose anything because they just need to wait and get the meat free. ( without money ) then they sell it to earn money. Do you still think the man activity is acceptable? Even in entrepreneurship?
