r/HalalInvestor on Reddit: Halal Dropshipping ?? Is it possible??!
April 1, 2021 -
Hello all! I hope you are doing well.
I have heard a lot about dropshipping and I have heard a lot of shoyoukh talking about it. Some are saying it is halal and others are saying it is not. I just wanted to know which one is it?? And if it is haram, what exactly makes it haram?? and how can we make it halal instead of just saying that it is haram and there is nothing we can do about it. Can I like, buy few pieces and start selling them (without actually having them on my hand, just mine but in other countries) and keep on buying more online as I get more orders ?? Or maybe you know another solution that you can suggest ?
Any comment is most welcome. Thank you in advance!
P.S: This is NOT an incentive to start dropshipping. Just a general question that I had on my mind for quite some time now.

We dropship via Amazon FBA and this is what we do. We purchase the products from our suppliers and it gets delivered to our house. We then post it to the Amazon fulfillment centre and they do the rest. I see nothing wrong with this because we have purchased the products and are paying Amazon to deal with the rest. What would make it haraam is if I set up a page to sell these products WITHOUT owning them in the first place. So selling something you do not own = Haraam. If I'm not mistaken.

Simple answer. dropshipping is haram because in islam you cannot sell something that you do not own. can we make it halal?! Yes you can by indicating that you do not own the products and rather act as an intermediate. Will this affect your business?! Possibly. But this is the answer to your question. May allah give you barakah

r/IslamicFinance on Reddit: Is Dropshipping Halal
October 30, 2021 -
Salam Alaykum brothers... I woul like to know if Dropshipping with websites like Shopify etc is halal or not. I have read that some say it is haram because you don't own the goods. Others say it's halal because in Medina people used to pay for dates 2 or 3 years before even getting them. I personally think that it's Halal if you are not selling haram products and if you are not stealing people's money by displaying a good that doesn't match the reality.

I did some research, and these are my findings (this is not fatwa, this is just my personal research, you can do your own): Dropshipping is definitely Haram, because you never own the good, you must own the good before you sell them, this doesn't mean that you have to have them and touch them, it just means you have to pay for them, something like amazom fba is halal, even tho you never get the goods , you ship them directly from the seller to Amazon, and from Amazon to the the buyer, it is halal, but dropshipping of what you don't own like Shopify dropshipping is haram, some poeple myght argue that people used to do it back in the day, yes , but when they sell the product , the buyer already know that the product he's buying is not purchased yet, for example if you go to someone and tell him "I'll sell you choes, but I don't have them yet, pay me, and after you pay me I'll go buy them for you and keep my profit" I fount out that this is halal, so of you wrote on your product listing that you don't own any of the products and you're buying them only after you get paid that will make it halal I believe, but I doubt anyone will buy from you if they read that, and here lies the issue , dropshipping is "deceiving" people into paying more for a product they can buy for less, if they found out that they can buy it themselves from AliExpress then they wouldn't buy it from you, you as a middleman add no value to this commerce ,and have no risk I'm this, you're just making things more expensive for people
