The Ruling of Islamic Law on Selling Closed Boxes (Bulk Returns)
A company sells various types of products to customers. Some customers return products, and in other cases, the shipping company returns undelivered shipments. The company then aggregates these diverse items—such as toys, kitchenware, electrical appliances, etc.—into large boxes and resells them to contractors and intermediaries. We purchase them from these intermediaries and sell them in shops by displaying them on tables at prices lower than the original retail price. The customer has the right to open the product packaging and test it before purchasing.
There are two methods of purchase:
1. Blind Purchase: The goods are sold without a manifest (list of contents), and the load is sold at a fixed price for all shipments.
2. Manifest-Based Purchase: The goods are sold with a manifest provided by the seller. However, due to administrative and accounting procedures between the company and the intermediary, this manifest is sent two weeks after the purchase. The variety is similar to the first type, but the specific items are known. The price varies from one load to another. In this case, the goods are often displayed and sold before the manifest is received due to the administrative delay. What is the ruling of Islamic Law (Shariah) on this?

The Sale is Binding by the Price Agreed Upon by the Contracting Parties

I offered a water well for sale without specifying a price. An intermediary informed me that a company wished to purchase it, including all procedures, for 350,000 dinars. He told me that 100,000 dinars from this amount would go to the company's director. The sale was concluded on that basis. It later emerged that the director had no knowledge of the 100,000 dinars. What is the Islamic ruling regarding this sum of 100,000 dinars? Does it rightfully belong to the seller, or should it be returned to the buyer?

Ruling on Sales Conducted through an Application Based on a Lottery System
I intend to create an application for promotional purposes, where the number of participants is limited to 20 individuals. Each participant contributes a share of 5 dinars. A primary product, such as a mobile phone, is advertised, and a lottery draw is conducted for that phone. Once the promotional period concludes or all participations are filled, a draw is held for the primary product (the mobile phone). Moreover, secondary products—such as a charger, headphones, or a phone case—are awarded to those who do not win the primary product, as compensation for their participation. It should be noted that there are no specific games or activities influencing the draw for the primary product. A single individual may participate multiple times to increase their chances of winning. What is the Islamic ruling on this practice?
