Is it permissible for a company to take money from the buyer and then deliver the goods to him the next day?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A representative from one of the companies comes to us with a sample of his products and promises to bring us a quantity of them in the future if we want to buy them. After he leaves, another customer comes to us wanting the same item that is with us as a sample. So we take his money and then buy it for him from the representative at a price that suits us. Is this transaction permissible?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible, just as was mentioned recently. It is not permissible unless the goods are present with them. If the goods are present with them, they negotiate with the buyer. But before the goods are present, they do not own them and they do not have the ability to deliver them. So the goods must be brought, and then they sell from them and buy from them what they want. Yes.
