Is it permissible for the product owner to set conditions for the use of their product after its sale, such as stipulating two different prices for designs based on the type of project (free or paid), and is it permissible for the buyer to violate these conditions after purchase?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the design seller stipulates that their design should only be used for a single project, or on a personal website, or in a store, then this is a void condition because it contradicts the essence of the contract. Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on the contract when such a condition exists:

- The majority of scholars: They consider the contract to be void in this case.

- The Hanbalis: They consider the contract to be valid, while the condition is void, and the buyer is not obligated to fulfill this void condition.
