Summary
Buying goods at a lower price and reselling them at a higher price to earn profit is not an injustice, since this is the very definition of trade (tijarah). Such trade is permissible without being disliked, based on Surah al-Nisa verse 29 on commerce by mutual consent. Profit earned through effort from lawful sources and by lawful means is lawful provision that is blessed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Membeli barang modal dengan harga yang lebih murah daripada harga jualan untuk mendapatkan untung bukanlah satu bentuk kezaliman bahkan itulah takrif bagi bagi tijarah atau jual beli:
