Question:
What is the ruling on selling and buying goods that bear logos but are not original, provided it is disclosed at the time of sale that they are not original, despite the presence of the original company’s logo?
Answer:
This is a form of deception. Writing on them that they are original when they are not is deception by merchants and importers. However, if the seller informs the buyer that the item is not as written on it, but is of the inferior type, then he has disclosed it and fulfilled his obligation. But I do not think sellers do this, because this...
...makes the goods cheap in their eyes, except for whom Allah has mercy and who adheres to truthfulness. It is obligatory that this forged writing not be used, and that importers be prevented from writing this false inscription that has no validity, so that sellers and customers are safe from this deception and this deficiency. Yes.
