| Summary: | Abstract. Drop shipping entails movement of goods where a dropshipper as entity
A, sells goods that are physically stocked with entity B on a retail basis to a con�sumer using the online networking system. In Shari’ah, the permissibility of such
business arrangement revolves around a fundamental concept of not selling what
you do not own. There also exist information asymmetry between the parties
where only the retailer merchant has more information than both the seller and
the customer. Given its prevalence and increase patronage by Muslims, this study
examined the permissibility of the dropshipping using juristic adaptation (Taky¯ıf
Fiqh) to ascertain the Shar¯ı’ah compliance of the existing model. Analysis of the
Shariah compliant issues in the transaction cycle show that the existing dropship�ping model is not fully compliant with the Shariah. Thus, alternative Shari’ah
compliant contract in Wak¯alah, Salam and Parallel Salam are proposed to vali�date the dropshipping model for entrepreneurs who opt for Shari’ah compliant
approach |
