Is it permissible to sell goods by installment with a 30% increase over their cash price, with the possibility for the buyer to cancel the agreement before receiving the goods, even if the seller has already purchased them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The permissible way in this transaction is for the agreement between your friend and the customer to be merely a promise to sell before your friend acquires the commodity; otherwise, it would fall under selling what one does not own, which is prohibited. As for increasing the price of a commodity sold in installments, it is permissible under certain conditions.
