Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person sold a commodity that had a defect, and it had been repaired before the sale. The buyer asked me if it had a defect, and I told him no. I do not know where the buyer is now. What is required of me?
Answer:
You made a mistake in this. You said there was something repaired in it; it had a defect that was repaired. Since he has gone and you do not know where he went, you made a mistake and you should repent to Allah the Exalted. Yes.
