Unknown Or Contingent Price In Contract Of Sale
Is it permissible to keep the price unknown or contingent upon a separate event?
It is forbidden to sell goods and services in which the price is unknown or is contingent or conditioned upon the occurrence of a separate event; though while conditioning one contract on another is forbidden (e.g. the monthly payment on a bank's car lease depends on the amount of money deposited into the bank), joining two or more contracts into one contract is permissible (e.g. a contract to lease a car and a contract to deposit money with a bank as part of one contract).
