This contract is called an "Istisna'a contract" (manufacturing contract). It is an agreement between the buyer and the seller for the sale of a manufactured item with agreed-upon specifications. It is not a condition for this contract to pay the entire price or part of it upfront; rather, it may be paid in advance, deferred, or in installments, depending on the agreement.
