The ruling on stipulating a reduction in the price when a defect is found in livestock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man bought livestock from another man, and when they agreed on the price, the buyer said to the seller: If I find a defect in this livestock after a month or two, I will deduct one hundred riyals from the price of the defective animal. Is this valid?
Answer:
Yes, even if he had not said that to him. If a person buys a commodity and a defect is found in it, he has the option: either he returns it and takes back the price, or he keeps it and takes compensation for the defect. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
