The Exclusivity of Selling a Product to a Single Merchant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a merchant to agree with another person, or with the manufacturer of the product outside the country, that he will not sell it in his country except to him alone?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This falls under the category of restricting and imposing hardship on people. A person is free with his goods; he sells them to whomever he wishes, and people benefit from these goods. No one should take exclusive rights to them and restrict them from people, thereby imposing hardship on them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
