The ruling on increasing the Price in return for Troubles endured

The ruling on increasing the Price in return for Troubles endured


Question :

Is it permissible for me to buy some products from a place that is far away and then sell them at a slightly higher price due to my transporting them and my pains that I underwent? Is this considered Riba?


Answer:

There is no harm in that, if Allâh wills, if you bought them for yourself and you paid the price, then you carried them to another land and sold them for some profit in return for your work, transporting them and tying up your money in them and so forth. This is just as the rest of the people get profit from the products that they purchase. However, if you bought the products for your friend who appointed you as an agent and paid you his money so that you could buy the products for him, and you did that, you may not take any extra from him. The only exception is regarding what you yourself paid of the price, and the cost of carrying and transporting the goods and so forth.
