Question
Is it permissible for a beverage marketer to buy whiskey of a certain brand, and the manufacturer places a label with a different name on it? Is it permissible for the marketer to charge more money from customers for the product, because he invested all the payment in advance, including graphics, storage, and taking risks?
Answer
Hello,
The question is not clear.
Is it about a person who forges a label and puts an incorrect label on a product? This is certainly forbidden, as it is deception and theft.
If he just changed the name of the product. Why does the marketer want more money? For changing the label?
I would appreciate it if you could clarify your question.
