Summary
Consignment selling is permissible because it fits contracts allowed by Islamic law, namely mudharabah or qiradh, wakalah, ujrah or ijarah and ju'alah. It does not amount to unearned profit, since both parties contribute effort and work. As two business parties are involved, the conditions and interests of both must be protected so that neither is wronged. Where a wage contract applies, the amount of the wage must be clearly specified.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat bahawa jual beli consignment ini adalah satu bentuk jual beli moden yang tidak bercanggah dengan syarak
