Summary
Dropshipping is seen as based on a ju’alah contract, where the agent earns a commission when a sale is successfully made. The agent must ensure the goods exist and are not prohibited in Islamic law. If the goods are not in stock and must be ordered, the transaction is bound by the rules of bai’ al-salam, including precise specifications and upfront cash payment according to the majority of schools. Those involved are advised to be honest and trustworthy.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kaedah perniagaan dropship seperti ini dilihat terbina atas kontrak ju'alah (result oriented) iaitu untung dibayar mengikut hasil kerja jika ejen berjaya membuat jualan.
