Buying a commodity whose owner has sworn to its quality
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I want to buy a commodity, and the owner of the commodity swears that it is such and such, should I leave this commodity because the oath removes the blessing?
Answer:
No, if you have a desire for the commodity and it fits your needs, buy it and hold him accountable for the sin; hold him accountable for it, it is not on you. And if the commodity is not suitable for you, leave it, even if he swears that it is suitable and that this is for your benefit. If you are convinced of the commodity and it is suitable for you, take it, and you have no concern about any obstacle; that is on him. Yes.
