Distribution of counterfeit goods with a statement of their condition to merchants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I work as a distributor, and sometimes counterfeit goods are offered to us. We take them and inform the retail merchants that they are counterfeit, but they may be sold to the consumer as genuine. He asks: What is the ruling on my work in such matters?
Answer:
If you disclose the condition and the buyer goes against that and sells them as something other than their actual condition, the blame is on him and the sin is on him. As for you, you disclosed it to him. This sale is valid because of the disclosure. If they are truthful and disclose, they are blessed in their sale,Sahih al-Bukhari 2110 So if you disclose, you have fulfilled what is required of you. The fact that he sells to people and betrays their trust is on him. Yes.

The buyer and the seller have the option of canceling or confirming the bargain unless they separate, and if they spoke the truth and made clear the defects of the goods, them they would be blessed in their bargain, and if they told lies and hid some facts, their bargain would be deprived of Allah's blessings.
