Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man bought some goods, then asked the seller to leave them with him until he found a means of transport. Then the goods were damaged before the transfer. On whom does the guarantee lie?
Answer:
If the goods are not among those measured by volume or weight, the guarantee lies on the buyer; because once the contract is completed, they enter the buyer's ownership, so if they are damaged, they are his responsibility.
