What is the ruling on selling products of a pharmaceutical distribution company in countries other than Pakistan, even though the distribution contracts are restricted to Pakistan only, and what is the ruling on the income generated from that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the company is an agent for pharmaceutical companies in distributing their products, it must adhere to the restrictions set by the pharmaceutical companies, as this is a requirement of the agency contract. Otherwise, its action would be invalid and prohibited.

However, if the company buys the products for itself and then sells them, it is not obligated to abide by these conditions because they contradict the essence of the contract, which dictates that whoever owns a commodity has the right to sell it wherever they wish. This condition is invalid, and there are two opinions on whether it invalidates the sale itself.
