Informing Your Customer About The Defects In The Goods! by Rashduct4luv(op): 9:30am On Nov 15, 2024
Deceptively selling a product without informing the known defects of that product to the Buyer – Shaykh Salih Fawzan

And also from the business transactions that are forbidden is:

The Deceptive Sale, which is when you deceive your Muslim brother by selling him a product that has defects and you know about these defects yet you do not inform him about them.

So this kind of sale is not permissible and it is from deception, swindling and fraud. It is obligatory on the seller to make these defects clear to the seller and to let him know about them. But if he fails to inform him about them, then this is from deception and swindling, which Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) forbade in his saying:

“The two persons conducting a business transaction are in a state of goodness for as long as they do not separate from one another. So if they are both honest and open with one another, they are blessed in their transaction. But if they lie and conceal (the truth) from one another, the blessing of their transaction is wiped out.”

So it is obligatory upon us, O servants of Allaah, to be sincere.

Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The Religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity.” They (the Companions) said: “To who O Messenger of Allaah?” He said: “To Allaah, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the Muslim leaders and the Muslim general masses.”

So the Muslim must be sincere. What is meant when one is sincere towards something is that he is free or absolved from certain things. So being sincere means being free from cheating (for example).

One time the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) passed by a person selling some food in the marketplace who had his food in a pile. So the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) put his noble hand inside the pile of food and found some wet portions in the bottom of the pile. So he said: “What is this O owner of the food?” He said: “The sky has affected it” – meaning the rain has damaged some of it. So Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Then won’t you make it visible so that the people can see it? Whoever cheats us (i.e. swindles Muslims) is not from us.”

This hadeeth is considered one of the fundamental principles in conducting business transactions between the Muslims. So it is not permissible for a Muslim to conceal the defects. If his merchandise has a defect then he must make it visible so that the buyer sees it and is aware of it, and so that he could acquire the item for a price that is appropriate for this defect. He must not acquire the item for the price it would be if it were flawless, for then the seller would be deceiving, cheating, fooling and swindling, based on the saying of Allaah’s Messenger: “Then won’t you make it visible so that the people can see it? Whoever cheats us is not from us.”

So O servants of Allaah! How much of swindling do you see in these days? How many times do you see people placing the defective items in the bottom of the containers and cases while placing the good items on the top – whether vegetables or food items? They purposely put the defective item in the bottom while putting the flawless item on the top. This is trickery, which is done intentionally. We ask Allaah to pardon and forgive us and you, and that He make our rizq (sustenance) Halaal and that He make our earnings Halaal. And we ask Him to provide us from His vast Bounty.

O Allaah suffice us with what You have made Halaal over that which You made Haraam, and (suffice us) with Your Bounty over that of others besides You. And forgive us, have mercy on us and accept our repentance. Verily, You are the One who accepts Repentance, the Bestower of Mercy. And may the peace and blessings of Allaah be on Allaah’s Messenger.

Islam is a complete religion and it's left for you to either accept its tenet or reject it.

However, while judging Islam, please don't equate it with what Muslims or Muslims society does rather make your judgement on either the Quran or the Hadith of the Holy Prophet.

Ok. Wetin Hadith talk about marrying 6 years old girl and sleeping with her at 9 years old?

Sahih al-Bukhari 5133
Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

Europe history on minor marriage

Historically, marriages involving minors were relatively common in Europe, especially in medieval and early modern times. These marriages were often driven by political alliances, economic considerations, or cultural norms. Here are notable examples and contexts of minor marriages in European history:

1. Royal and Noble Marriages

Minor marriages were particularly common among royalty and nobility, where political alliances were prioritized over the personal readiness of the individuals involved.

Richard II of England and Isabella of Valois (1396): Richard, aged 29, married Isabella of Valois, who was only 6 years old. The marriage was a political alliance between England and France during the Hundred Years' War. The union was never consummated due to her age, and she was later sent back to France after Richard's death.

Mary, Queen of Scots and Francis II of France (1558): Mary married Francis II at the age of 15, while Francis was 14. This was a strategic alliance between Scotland and France to counter England’s influence.

Margaret Beaufort (1443–1509): The mother of Henry VII of England, Margaret was married to Edmund Tudor when she was around 12 years old. She gave birth to Henry at age 13.


2. Religious and Cultural Practices

In medieval Europe, canon law allowed girls to marry at 12 and boys at 14, based on the idea that these ages marked the onset of physical maturity.

Anne de Bretagne (1477–1514): Anne, Duchess of Brittany, was married to Charles VIII of France when she was 14, securing Brittany's annexation to France.

Blanche of Castile (1188–1252): Blanche was betrothed at age 12 to Louis VIII of France as part of a political arrangement between Castile and France. She became Queen Consort of France.


3. Social Norms and Peasantry

In lower social classes, the age of marriage varied widely. While young marriages occurred, they were less common among peasants than among the aristocracy due to the need for economic stability. However, girls as young as 13 or 14 might marry in agrarian societies if they were deemed ready to contribute to the household.

4. The Habsburg Dynasty

The Habsburgs, one of Europe's most powerful royal families, frequently arranged minor marriages to consolidate their empire.

Philip II of Spain and Maria Manuela of Portugal (1543): Philip married Maria when she was 16, and he was 16 as well. Both were still minors by today's standards.

Maria Theresa of Spain and Louis XIV of France (1660): Maria Theresa was 15 when she married her cousin Louis XIV to solidify peace between Spain and France.


5. Criticism and Decline

By the 18th and 19th centuries, the Age of Enlightenment and changing views on childhood, consent, and education led to a decline in minor marriages. Laws raising the age of consent for marriage were introduced across Europe.

So call American history

2. Legal Context in the 19th Century

During the 18th and 19th centuries, U.S. marriage laws were loosely regulated and heavily influenced by English common law. Many states allowed girls as young as 12 and boys as young as 14 to marry with parental consent. Examples:

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1885): The famous author of Little House on the Prairie married Almanzo Wilder at age 15. He was 28. Their marriage was legal and not uncommon in frontier communities, where survival often took precedence over formal schooling or age norms.



---

3. Child Bride Marriages

Child marriage was more prevalent in rural and frontier areas due to limited educational opportunities, the need for labor in agricultural communities, and cultural norms.

Susannah North Martin (Early 1600s): In New England, Susannah married at around age 16, which was considered early but legal. She later became a well-known figure during the Salem Witch Trials.



---

4. Political and Economic Alliances

Some marriages were motivated by political or economic gain, similar to practices in Europe.

Sarah Childress Polk and James K. Polk (1824): Sarah married future U.S. President James K. Polk when she was 19, though earlier engagement discussions began when she was a minor.



---

5. Legal and Social Shifts

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reforms in child labor, education, and women's rights led to increasing scrutiny of minor marriages. Laws were introduced to raise the legal marriage age:

Child Marriage Resistance in the 20th Century: In 1889, Delaware became the first state to set the minimum marriage age at 15 for girls, signaling a shift toward modern standards.



---

6. Notable Cultural Examples

Jerry Lee Lewis Scandal (1957): Though not historical, rock musician Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown. The marriage caused a scandal, but it highlighted the lingering permissiveness toward minor marriages in some regions, especially the rural South.


---

Decline of the Practice

Reforms during the Progressive Era (1890s–1920s) emphasized compulsory education and child welfare, leading to higher marriage ages. By the mid-20th century, societal norms shifted away from early marriage, though legal exceptions for minors with parental or judicial consent persisted.
