IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-388 : HUKUM MENJUAL BARANGAN DERMA (CHARITY SHOP)
Is it permissible for a charity shop to sell goods donated by the public, including selling items without price tags?
Short answer
Donated goods become the property of the recipient, so they may be sold, rented out or given to others as long as the donor has not specified a particular use.

Summary
Donated goods become the property of the recipient, so they may be sold, rented out or given to others as long as the donor has not specified a particular use. A sale without a price tag is valid if the price is stated at the counter, the buyer agrees and pays, and the goods are then handed over. It is nevertheless better and more orderly for the seller to put price tags on items.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Barangan derma pula tidak terhad penggunaannya samada ingin dijual, disewa atau diberi kepada orang lain selagi mana penderma tidak mengkhususkan kegunaannya.
