Ordering an item without knowing the price

Q: Is it permissible to buy products on credit if I do not know the price of the product? For example, I order some things, the seller delivers the products to my house, and I say that whatever the money is, I will pay at a later time. I don’t know the price of the products while buying. Is the transaction valid?

A: The price must be confirmed before the sale can be concluded. You may conclude the sale when the item gets delivered.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

ومنها (أي شرائط الصحة) أن يكون المبيع معلوما والثمن معلوما علما يمنع من المنازعة فبيع المجهول جهالة تفضي إليها غير صحيح كبيع شاة من هذا القطيع وبيع شيء بقيمته وبحكم فلان (الفتاوى الهندية 3/3)
