The answer

If the merchandise has entered into your possession and is under your guarantee, and you have taken possession of it, then it is permissible to sell it to your friend for a higher price. It is a condition, according to the majority of scholars, to take possession of the sold item before selling it. The nature of possession varies according to the item and the custom of each country. The Hanafis have held that what is considered for movable goods is clearance and enablement of possession, which is deemed a constructive possession.
