Is it permissible for the seller to set a uniform price for the goods she sells to her agents and to deduct her commission when the agents make sales, even if some agents object to this? Is the work of an agent who sells at a fixed price considered similar to that of a broker who takes from both the seller and the buyer? Is it permissible for the seller to stipulate that the full amount or a down payment be transferred from the buyer to guarantee her rights, due to the nature of her work in tailoring?
Your agents are not permitted to sell at a higher price than what you have set, nor to take a commission from the buyer. Any excess amount they take beyond what was stipulated must be returned to you, unless you have authorized them to take it. There is no objection to taking the full price or part of it from the customer requesting the goods. It appears that the transaction is an Istisna' (manufacturing contract), and you are conducting a parallel Istisna' with the supplying companies.
