Question

Is drop shipping permissible in shariah? i.e. a person advertising an item, taking payment for it from a customer, and then informing the supplier to deliver the item directly to the customer?

Answer

One cannot sell an item that he has not taken possession of.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
