Refusing to accept exchanges and refunds on sale items
Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2017-12-24 07:37
Q: Is it permissible for a shop to put up a sign saying “no exchange/refunds on sale items”? The sale items are not defective. They are merely marked down to promote them and make them sell quicker. Is such a condition valid?
A: Yes, it is permissible. However, though it is not an obligation, it is rewarding and in the spirit of a good Muslim businessman to refund the customer if he is unhappy with the sale.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
عن أبي هريرة، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «من أقال مسلما، أقاله الله عثرته يوم القيامة (سنن ابن ماجه، الرقم: 2199)
الإقالة جائزة في البيع بمثل الثمن الأول لقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام من أقال نادما بيعته أقال الله عثرته يوم القيامة (الهداية 3/69)
