Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah says: Shaykh, if a person encounters gharar (excessive uncertainty in a contract) in the purchase of a house for himself and wants to return it, is he allowed to do so? And what is the nature of a sale involving gharar? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, regarding gharar (excessive uncertainty in a contract), if gharar is established, the option to rescind is established. This is referred to the judge, or the court. The buyer files a lawsuit against the seller and claims gharar. The judge summons the seller and examines the case.
