Selling to a disbeliever and not informing him of a defect in the goods

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to sell to a disbeliever and not inform him of a defect in the goods?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. Deception is not permissible with Muslims or with disbelievers, so it is not permissible. The wealth of a disbeliever is forbidden to you, except if it is taken as war spoils in jihad. As for you making the wealth of a disbeliever lawful to you by plundering it, that is not permissible. Yes.
