What is Tawarruq
Tawarruq itself means the activity of buying a commodity or item within differed payment basis. It is either through cost plus sales or direct sales.
And then, the item would be sold for cash to another party another one that isn’t the original seller.
In most cases, tawarruq is almost similar to bai’ al-‘inah. They are about getting cash via buying and selling activities.
