The Ruling on Exclusive Agency and Franchising
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He said: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who goes to a certain factory or company and says, “I will take these goods exclusively and not leave them for anyone else,” as they call it now, the sole agent?
Answer:
Yes, and regarding franchising, this is a practice occurring now. If taking franchises involves harassing people and monopolizing, it is not permissible and is prohibited. However, if there is no harassment of people because the goods are available elsewhere, there is no harm. Yes.
