Selling Defective Goods
May I sell defective goods by intentionally withholding information about their defect?
It is impermissible to sell goods that are defective, where the seller intentionally withholds information about a defect; though if the defect was not known by either buyer or seller at the time of the sale, the sale may still be cancelled within the specified period of cancellation; qualitative or quantitative misrepresentation of any aspect of a good or service is impermissible and constitutes fraud, grounds for the aggrieved party to rescind the agreement at any time. The buyer, nevertheless, still has the choice of whether or not to accept the defective good.
