Selling an item online without seeing it

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2021-07-03 08:54

Q: In a business dealing, person A purchases a product online from person B and sells it to Person C without seeing the item. Is it permissible?

So instead of person B sending the item to person A, he will send it straight to Person C. It is 2 different transactions as person A will pay person B for the item and will sell it for a different price to person C.

So is it allowed for person A to get the item sent straight to person C or should he receive it himself then send it.

A: If the purchaser has got someone to receive it for him and then he sells it after seeing it then the sale is right.

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