The ruling on the buyer demanding the cost of repairing the original defect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I bought a car and I knew it had a certain defect, so I repaired it. Then I found another defect in it that I had not known about, so I returned the car to the seller. Is it permissible for me, the buyer, to ask the seller for the value of what I spent repairing the first defect?
Answer:
If he gives you that, praise be to Allah. If he does not give it to you, then it is a dispute; you go to the court and they look into it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
