The ruling on selling goods before they arrive
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, what is the ruling in your view regarding the sale of goods purchased from abroad before they reach the shop?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell an item until it has been taken possession of, because there may be a defect in it, there may be a flaw in it, or there may be a shortage. Therefore, one must take possession of it and inspect it, then sell it as it is, whether it is of good quality or poor quality. This is the safest course for the conscience and the most cautious. Yes.
