The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There is no bad omen except in three things,” and he mentioned “the beast” among them. So, if a person’s car breaks down frequently, may he sell it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to get rid of his car by selling it if it breaks down frequently, provided he informs the buyer of its defects, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “There is no bad omen except in three things,” in which he mentioned the beast? And what is the correct interpretation of this hadith?

Answer:
If he cannot repair the car, he sells it, even if it is not considered a bad omen. If he cannot repair it, he cannot repair it, because it does not meet his needs, or it does not suffice for his requirements, or he sells the car. The important thing is that he sells the car and is relieved of it, if it turns out to be unsuitable for him, whether it is new or defective. As long as it is unsuitable for him, he sells it. Yes.
