A Seller Withholding An Item Until Full Payment Is Received

If it is a cash transaction, the seller has the right to withhold and retain the item until the purchase price is paid. In the case of a credit transaction, the seller can only retain the item from the buyer if he had put such a condition (that the item will be retained until paid for in full) when the deal was taking place. If such a condition was not put while the deal was taking place, then it will not be permissible for the seller to retain the item from the buyer.
