Accepting terms and conditions without reading it

· 21 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

When making purchases, if there is a box to tick that says 'I have read and accept terms and conditions' But a person hasn't read them, is this sinful. Even if the purchase is something beneficial in Islam. (Note: Some terms and conditions can be pages and pages long like about 70 pages).

Answer

No, as long as he is happy to take the commodity as it is.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
