The ruling on purchasing a defective item due to embarrassment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message from Jordan from the questioner 'Imran. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I stopped at one of the commercial shops to buy household necessities. A man came to me at the car selling a product: frozen milk, meaning milk dried with salt.
He embarrassed me to the utmost to buy from him, and I yielded to him and took the product from him. He told me, “Do not pay now; take it and put the money in your bank account,” and he left, as I do not know him. When I returned home, I was surprised to find that the product had a very foul smell. We put it on our food, and it spoiled what we had prepared. Do I have to pay him the price?
Answer:
If the product is as described and has no benefit, then this sale is not valid, and it is deception on your part in this matter.
