Online shopping
Question
What is the ruling on buying products online where one only sees the picture of the product? Also will it be permissible to sell one's products online through a website or Gumtree and OLX classifieds and what conditions will one have to adhere to to make the sale permissible?
Answer
The sale will be valid provided the buyer is pleased after he physically sees it.
It is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
