The Ruling on Returning a Sold Item Due to a Defect After the Time Has Passed

Question:
May Allah reward you for this guidance. Honorable Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah says: I bought a car from a person, and he told me I had the option for two days to return it if there was a defect in it. When I arrived in my town, I found a major defect in the engine, so I returned it to him, but he said, "I have nothing for you." Is there any advice for people like this?

Answer:
No. If you did not know about the defect, and if you did not know about it and he did not inform you of it, then you have the right to return it due to the defect at any time this defect becomes apparent, even after a period of time. So either you keep it and take the compensation for the defect, or you return it and take the price. The return due to a defect is not limited to a specific number of days; rather, whenever the defect becomes apparent, it is permissible for you to return it. Yes.
