Both the seller and the buyer are unaware of the quantity sold or returned. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade sales involving gharar. Jurists have differed on whether the sale itself is invalidated due to this condition. Alternatively, the seller can appoint the buyer as an agent to sell the goods and pay him a fee for his agency.
