The buyer’s option if a minor defect turns out to be significant

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, she says: There was a minor defect in the merchandise, and the buyer was aware of it, believing that the repair would be simple. However, he later found out that it was difficult. What is the ruling?

Answer:
If a person buys merchandise knowing it has a minor defect and accepts it, but it then turns out that the defect is not minor, he has the option to cancel the transaction. This is because the defect was revealed to be contrary to what he assumed and what he had accepted. He accepted a minor defect, but it turned out to be a significant one, and he had not accepted a significant defect. Therefore, he has the option, as previously stated. Yes.
