The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a car, and I was surprised to find a tear in the tire, which needs to be repaired. He says: If I inform the manufacturer that this tear is a manufacturing defect, they will repair it for free. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
What did you buy?
The questioner:
He says: I have a car, and I was surprised to find a tear in the tire, which needs to be repaired. If I inform the manufacturer that this tear is a manufacturing defect, they will repair it for free. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if he means he bought it from them, from the manufacturer.
The questioner:
Nothing was written.
The Shaykh:
If you bought it from the manufacturer, we say: This is a defect I found in it, so repair it. But if you bought it from someone else, and if you inform them, they will repair it for free as a favor from them, then there is no harm. But if you compel them, and you did not buy from them, to compel them to do so, no.
