Question 38 NECO • 2019 • ISLAMIC_RELIGIOUS_STUDIES • objective

A merchant sells a defective item unknowingly. The buyer discovers the defect after purchase and returns the item. Determine the seller's liability under Islamic law, considering the principles of "gharar" and "bay' al‑khata".

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. The seller must refund the purchase price (or replace the item) because the sale is voidable under bay' al‑khata and gharaar.

B. The buyer must compensate the seller for the defect, as the seller is only responsible for intentional fraud, not accidental defects.

C. The seller is not liable because the defect was unknown to both parties, making the sale valid under bay' al‑khata.

D. The seller must only repair the item, as Islamic law requires remediation rather than refund when gharaar is present.

Correct Answer

Correct Option:

The seller must refund the purchase price (or replace the item) because the sale is voidable under bay' al‑khata and gharaar.
