Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the context of drop shipping, while adhering to the conditions of Bay’ Salam, is it strictly mandatory to inform the customer that the product is not yet in our possession? Or is compliance with the other conditions of the contract sufficient?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the <\/strong>Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, it is mandatory from an Islamic perspective that the customer should be aware if a buyer is in the possession of an item or not[i]<\/a>. This is to avoid gharar (uncertainty) and deception in sales which may nullify the transaction[ii]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the sale to be valid, it is required that the sold item be owned by the seller, and that the seller has actually or legally taken possession of the sold item. Whoever buys something and sells it to someone before he takes possession of it, the sale is invalid. True receipt is that the item sold be in his physical possession. Judicial receipt is release, which is enabling the seller to take physical possession whenever he wants without any impediment. Release takes the place of receipt in all sales except in exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ambiguity that leads to disputes in a contract must be removed for the contract to be valid.<\/span><\/p>\n
