Selling customized products made on order
Q: If a person does not own any products, he cannot sell them according to the hadith. But what will be the ruling for customized products which are made on order?
For example, furniture, customized packagings, custom business cards, custom printed clothes and many other things which are made only on order. These things cannot be kept in stock, because every product is made as per customer's requirements. Such products are neither with the seller nor with any factory. Because such products can be made only when the customer places the order, as per customer's requirements.
So my question is whether I can take the order from the customer as per my price and give it to the factory? And can I take the full money from the customer in advance? Please clear my doubt.
