Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I described my car to a person in every possible detail, and we agreed on the price and the delivery, but he has not seen it, is that sale permissible?
Answer:
No. You may sell him a car based on specifications; if you fix a defect, you provide him with the second one, and so on, based on the specifications. However, a specific car that he has not seen is not permissible to sell to him because it is unknown. Yes.
