Defect in Fruit After Purchase
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man bought palm fruit after it had begun to ripen, but then a defect struck it and spoiled the dates. Does he have the right to return it to the seller?
Answer:
This is the issue of placing the guarantee. If the defect is from Allah and no one is responsible for it, then the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the guarantee to be placed, so the seller must return the money to the buyer.
