Ruling on drop shipping business for customized jewelry

11-8-2024 | IslamWeb

Question:

Is drop shipping customized jewelry permissible? Like I take order of a customized jewelry from a customer and send to the vendor to make this custom jewelry, specifically “name jewelry”. Is this business model permissible? JazakAllah
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

As a general rule, it is permissible to work in this field. However, it becomes prohibited if it involves anything forbidden by Shariah, such as creating designs with prohibited symbols like a cross. In such cases, participating in this work is impermissible because it involves assisting in prohibited actions. Allah, the Almighty, states: {But do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty} [Quran 5:2].

Allah knows best.
