The condition of reserving a seat with an airline ticket
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a buyer of travel tickets conditions the seller to provide a reservation along with the ticket, otherwise the sale is void, is this condition valid?
Answer:
No, it is not required. He sells the ticket; he is not required to make the reservation. If he wants to make the reservation for him, he does so. If he does not want to make the reservation, he makes the reservation, or he gives him someone else to make the reservation. Yes.
