Summary
Running a pre-order business through online platforms is permissible. It falls under the salam sale, in which the buyer pays first and receives the goods later, as well as the ujrah (fee) contract, both of which jurists agree are permissible. A return policy set by the seller is considered consistent with the Islamic principle of khiyar, as it reduces the risk of goods not being delivered or not matching the stated specifications.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus menjalankan perniagaan berkonsep pre-order melalui platform atas talian kerana ia termasuk dalam bentuk jual beli salam (bayar dahulu barang dapat kemudian) dan juga kontrak ujrah (upah) yang disepakati fuqaha akan keharusannya.
