Dropshipping dalam Perspektif Hadis

Antara Gharar, Khiyar, dan Akad Wakalah

Abstract

Dropshipping, a burgeoning business model where sellers do not maintain inventory, has been the focus of this research. The study aimed to analyze dropshipping from the perspective of hadith, emphasizing three main concepts: gharar (uncertainty), khiyar (option to choose), and akad wakalah (representation). The literature review method was employed to gather data from the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW and related secondary sources. The research indicates that dropshipping has the potential to involve gharar due to uncertainty about product information and stock availability. However, efforts to minimize gharar can be made by providing accurate product descriptions, ensuring the buyer's right to khiyar, and collaborating with reputable suppliers. The concept of wakalah serves as the cornerstone in dropshipping practices, where the seller acts as a representative of the buyer entrusted to act with integrity. Thus, the conclusion drawn is that dropshipping is permissible in Islam as long as it does not involve excessive gharar, and dropship sellers adhere to Sharia principles such as transparency of information, granting the buyer's right to khiyar, and acting as trustworthy representatives.
