The Ruling on Bidding in Sales
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Another type of sale that occurs in our country: A company or government entity requests goods or equipment.
،You ask the merchants, saying: Any person who wants to come to me saying, "I want such and such goods," and the merchants come to agree with them on the basis that they will bring these goods, but they do not hand over the money, and they bring the goods, and then the official comes to inspect and agree, and then gives them the invoice?
There is nothing wrong with this, provided that the sale does not take place unless you are present. However, selling to him at the price at the time of the sale and then delivering it a month later, for example, is not permissible, unless the full price is paid in advance. In that case, it is permissible and falls under the category of salam.
