Selling goods without revealing damages and faults
QUESTION:
Dear Mufti Sahib, a man wants to sell a damaged item, but does not tell the buyer that the item is damaged. When asked if there is any defect, he said there is none and sold it. Is this allowed?
ANSWER:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
And Allah Ta’ālā Knows Best
