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

 <\/p>\n

Is drop shipping is permissible?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Few supplier offer the drop shipping opportunities where we have to register as their authorised drop shipper. They allow us to list all of their items on our website or our marketplace account. When the order comes we place an order to this supplier and they send to the item to end customer. In case if something goes wrong we are liable to refund in full to the customer. We do mention in our marketplace account in all listing that the order will be fulfilled by the supplier and product is not in our stock.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

The fundamental problem with dropshipping according to Islamic transaction principles is the fact that the dropshipper, who buys the item from the producer and sells it to the end customer, at no point ever possesses the item. Possession is a necessary part of ownership and ownership is a necessary condition in sale, since one cannot sell what one does not own. Even in Bay\u2019 as-Salam, where the customer pays in full with an agreed date of delivery in the future before the seller acquires a mass-produced product, the seller must possess the item at some point before delivering it to the customer in order to fulfil the conditions of ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due to its importance in transactions, the condition of possession cannot be substituted by a liability clause, a notification to the end customer, or other such things. Since the seller not taking possession of the item is the essence and definition of drop shipping, drop shipping will not be permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n
