Summary
Reselling goods without the original seller's knowledge is permissible if the buyer has taken full ownership of the goods. If full ownership has not yet occurred, it is prohibited because it amounts to selling what one does not own, which is classed as a gharar sale. Hoarding (ihtikar) is prohibited but applies only to staple foods during times of scarcity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menjual kembali barang tanpa pengetahuan penjual asal adalah harus jika sudah berlaku pemilikan penuh manakala jika tidak ada pemilikan penuh hukumnya haram.
