Summary
Online electronic bidding is permissible if it fulfils the pillars and conditions of the bay' al-muzayadah contract, and all parties act honestly, trustworthily and transparently. The bidding must be free of najash (sham bidding), ghabn fahish arising from deception, joy bidders, minimum bid payments inconsistent with hamish jiddiyah, riba elements, and gambling such as bidding tokens whose value is forfeited. The auctioneer is a trustee with no right to the minimum bid funds or their profits, unless bidders waive the profit through tanazul.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bidaan elektronik dalam talian adalah diharuskan sekiranya mematuhi rukun-rukun serta syarat-syarat kontrak bay' al-muzayadah
