Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of fatwa number ( 6413 )
Q2: He imports materials from abroad, and they arrive in sealed bags. These bags have a known weight, which is 50 kg, but when selling, he finds that the weight of the bag has become 49 kg, due to weather conditions, and he has no control over it. He sells it as if it weighs 50 kg. What is the ruling?
A2: If he informs the buyer of this, there is nothing wrong with it. If he does not inform him and hands it over to him, that is deception, and it is forbidden.
