IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-705: HUKUM JUAL BELI CEDOK
Is the scoop-based sale, where the seller sets a price per scoop and the buyer receives whatever is scooped, permissible in Islam?
Short answer
Scoop-based selling is prohibited. It involves gharar (uncertainty) over the quantity, value and type of goods received, maisir (gambling) since one party gains while the other loses, and the denial of the buyer's right of choice (khiyar).

Summary
Scoop-based selling is prohibited. It involves gharar (uncertainty) over the quantity, value and type of goods received, maisir (gambling) since one party gains while the other loses, and the denial of the buyer's right of choice (khiyar). It resembles the forbidden mulamasah and munabazah sales mentioned in the hadith. The public is advised to avoid it, and traders should use sales methods free of prohibited elements so that their earnings are lawful.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jual beli cedok dilihat mempunyai unsur-unsur yang diharamkan oleh syarak seperti gharar (ketidakpastian), maisir (perjudian) dan menafikan hak khiyar (memilih) pembeli. Oleh kerana itu, jual beli cedok adalah haram di sisi syarak.
