Q: A pharmacy takes orders, and then delivers the medication along with the invoice. At times the price of the items in the order is known to both the pharmacy and the seller.
1. At times the purchaser just orders certain items, and receives the goods with the invoice. The price was not known till receiving the goods. With small items that they keep in stock, there is no issue with returns.
1.1. Is this sale correct?
1.2. If there was no issue with the item, but the purchaser is not happy with the price (since he only saw the price upon delivery), then what should he do?
2. At times the pharmacy does not stock a certain item and has to order it. Again, the buyer sometimes doesn't know the price till he recieves the order. The pharmacy cannot take returns on specially ordered items.
2.1. Is this sale correct without knowing the price before ordering?
2.2 If the purchaser is not happy with the price (since he only saw the price upon delivery), what should be done? The pharmacy is not happy to take returns since they specially arranged for this item at their delivery cost etc.
2.3 What type of sale is this classified as?
3. The pharmacy supplied a medication/cream etc. that is close to expiry, expiring within 2 weeks. The buyer will not use that much of the item to complete it within that time period. Is the buyer entitled to return the item based on the expiry date? If the pharmacy says there's no issue with using the item past its delivery date, does this statement absolve them of taking the item back?
Q: I have an issue on which I need Islamic guidance. I was working in a company in Karachi whose head office is in another country. According to the company’s contract, if any employee leaves the job before completing two years, then he must pay the company two months’ salary.
My intention was not to leave the company, but some individuals repeatedly placed accusations on me without any evidence or proof. They would write emails against me which created difficulties for me. Due to this mental stress and false accusations, I was forced to resign even though I did not want to.
My question is: according to Shariah, is it obligatory on me to pay this amount? Because I did not leave the job by my own will or by deceiving the company, rather I was forced to resign due to their false allegations and inappropriate behavior.
