Question
Is it permissible to work in a call center where I schedule sales appointments for products I have not personally seen?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question and concern about your earnings.
It is allowed to work at a call center scheduling sales appointments for products you haven’t seen. The transaction is between the seller and the buyer, so it does not impact your income or facilitation.
Modern online sales are allowed since the products are typically advertised and described before purchase. See the detailed answers regarding online sales.
