Question
If someone sells a car not disclosing a major fault. Example a major accident in which the car's mechanical ability is greatly reduced and may impact further driving. The car is sold 'as is' and the buyer cannot pick up the faults. He ends up taking a knock on the car. What is the condition of this sale in terms of hurmat etc on the part of the seller?
Answer
Concealing the defects renders the sale faasid and haraam. The seller is guilty of haraam deception. The money thus earned is haraam.
