What is the ruling on purchasing a product from someone in another city through an intermediary platform, where the platform receives the money from the buyer, then brings the product to him for inspection, and if he approves, the money is transferred to the seller and the platform takes a 5% commission from the amount?
If the platform's work is limited to delivery and it has no involvement in the selling process, then there is no harm in taking a fee for the delivery service. The fee must be known, and since the price sent to the platform is known, the percentage of it is also known. Therefore, the contract is valid with this fee.
