Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: As for the one who wants to sell something that has a defect, and he tells the buyer, “Take the item and inspect it with whomever you wish. If you are satisfied with it, take it; otherwise, return it.”
Answer:
This is not permissible as long as he knows of a defect in it. He must disclose it to him. He must not conceal the defect.
