بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم, السلام عليكم
I learned that Dropshipping is haram so the best way to do solve that is to buy inventory
Thing is it would be a risk to buy upfront inventory without knowing if the product will work or not
So I would like to ask if this is permissible:
Basically, just to get a proof of concept , I will show the product and advertise to it normally and then when I get the first sales and know that the product is working I will be refunding those clients.
Then I will buy inventory and sell normally.
(ofc even if the product isn’t working and I get some sales I will be refunding those clients)
Would this be permissible ?
I can’t mention to the customers before they buy that I don’t have inventory or “per-order” as this would not give actual data and wouldn’t know if the product is actually working or not.
Thanks for your efforts always to help,
Salam,
