Q: I'd like to find out a masla regarding an item which was bought via WhatsApp.
A brother posted a picture of a blender in a such a packaging that it could not be seen that it's fake. It stated no guarantee nor warranty. Once the product was delivered, we found out that the blender was not original but rather a copy of the original. The advert did not state that its original neither fàke. I'd like to know if I'm obliged to take it and pay him or can I refuse him.
A: If the understanding of the sale was that it was an original item then he should refund it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
