The Halal Way to Approach Dropshipping: Insights from Hafiz Ahmed




Dropshipping has become a popular business model in recent years, allowing entrepreneurs to set up online stores without the need for physical inventory. However, many Muslims are questioning whether dropshipping is halal or haram, as it involves some ethical and religious considerations. Hafiz Ahmed sheds some light on this topic and provides guidance on how to do dropshipping in a halal way.

Hafiz Ahmed, a well-known Islamic scholar and business consultant, has recently shared his thoughts on the issue of dropshipping in the Islamic context. According to him, dropshipping can be considered haram if it involves selling haram products or engaging in unethical business practices. For example, selling alcohol, pork, or products that involve riba (interest) would be considered haram in Islam.

Additionally, if the dropshipper is deceiving customers by falsely advertising products or inflating prices, this would also be considered haram. Hafiz Ahmed emphasizes the importance of conducting business with honesty, integrity, and transparency, in accordance with Islamic principles.

So how can dropshipping be done in a halal way? Hafiz Ahmed provides some tips for Muslim entrepreneurs looking to engage in dropshipping while adhering to Islamic principles:

1. Choose halal products to sell: Make sure the products you are dropshipping are halal and permissible in Islam. Avoid selling haram or questionable products that go against Islamic teachings.

2. Be transparent with customers: Provide accurate and honest information about the products you are selling. Avoid false advertising or misleading claims that deceive customers.

3. Avoid engaging in deceptive practices: Do not engage in practices that involve deception, fraud, or dishonesty. Always conduct business with integrity and uphold ethical standards.

4. Ensure fair pricing: Price your products fairly and avoid inflating prices to make a profit at the expense of customers. Offer competitive prices while maintaining ethical business practices.

5. Seek guidance from Islamic scholars: If you have any doubts or questions about the permissibility of certain practices in dropshipping, seek guidance from knowledgeable Islamic scholars or advisors.

Hafiz Ahmed’s guidance serves as a reminder for Muslim entrepreneurs to conduct their dropshipping businesses in a halal and ethical manner. By following these principles, entrepreneurs can ensure that their business practices align with Islamic values and teachings.

In conclusion, Hafiz Ahmed highlights the importance of upholding ethical and halal practices in dropshipping. By choosing halal products, being transparent with customers, avoiding deceptive practices, ensuring fair pricing, and seeking guidance from Islamic scholars, Muslim entrepreneurs can engage in dropshipping in a way that is consistent with their faith. It is ultimately up to the individual to ensure that their business practices align with Islamic principles and values.

    Aoa brother. One should avoid giving opinion about a subject if they don't have proper knowledge. Doing a contract with supplier mentioning they will buy from them when they get an order and would sell for any price of desire is not enough and haram because one needs to have the product already bought and in possession before receiving orders. 2 – Adding an Order button instead of Buy does not make it halal. One needs to add a disclaimer that the company does not have any inventory and acts as an agent only taking a % of the product price. In shariat one needs to have paid inventory of a product before receiving orders or selling it. In case of online orders, you can put Order now button on only those orders where the product is not available in your inventory i.e if the customer asks for a customized product or stock has ended. Putting Order button on every order with zero inventory is haram. In short modern way of dropshipping is strictly haram. It can be halal only if one has paid inventory of the prod or acts as an agent. If one has paid for product but its being stored somewhere else and the company storing the product manages shipping, one has to charge the customer same shipping cost e.g company manages the shipping is doing it for 3$ for an order, then one has to charge same 3$ of shipping from customer and needs to reimburse any extra shipping cost. In case of acting as an agent you will only take a percentage of price of the product. But in thise case one can take the percentaged amount from the buyer not from the customer. If they are taking the percentaged amount from the customer then they cannot take it from the supplier. In other words one can act as an agent for either buyer or customer not both. Commission as an agent has to be a percentaged amount of the price but has to be less than the product cost. E.g one can take 1 or 2$ commission on a product costing 5$ but acting as an agent of the supplier and selling a product to a customer for 20$ whereas the supplier cost was 5$ is also haram because taking 15$ commission on a 5$ product is haram.

    Assalamuaikum, I want to know if these steps are halal for dropshipping? 1) Create store 2) Select product, increase original product price for profit and put store. State the product description, the seller name. 3) After get order from customer, I order the order from the warehouse e.g amazon to be shipped to the customer. Keep the profit. Kindly advise. Thank you. Lina
