The Ruling on Selling a Sick Beast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Maghrib, the questioner Khalid says: What is the ruling on a person who sold a sick beast, and he knows about its illness?
Answer:
It is obligatory to disclose it; one must not deceive people. He should say, “You see in it such-and-such an illness,” and disclose it. As for deceiving people, it is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2225Da'if (Darussalam) Thus he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 2225Da'if (Darussalam) So he should say, “It is sick with such-and-such.” Until the buyer is fully aware. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the two sellers: Sahih al-Bukhari 2079 We ask Allah for well-being. And if the buyer becomes aware of the illness, he has the right to return it; he has the option. Yes.

Whoever cheats us is not one of us.
من غشنا فليس مناWhoever cheats us is not one of us.
من غشنا فليس مناand if both the parties spoke the truth and described the defects and qualities (of the goods), then they would be blessed in their transaction, and if they told lies or hid something, then the blessings of their transaction would be lost.
