Shipment Of Goods In Name Of Promising Buyer
In case of an import Murabaha transaction, is it permissible that goods be shipped in the name of the promising buyer?
It is not permissible for goods to be shipped in the name of the promising buyer. This would render the Murabaha transaction a mere interest-based financing. In case of such an event, the existing transaction should be terminated and a new contract should be entered into between seller and owner of goods.
