It is permissible for me to use the damaged item?
Question
Company delivered a damaged item, sent a replacement and said to dispose of it. It is permissible for me to use the damaged item since they don't want it?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
According to your explanation the company has relinquished its rights of the couch and handed it over to you. You may use the couch or give it to anyone you wish.[i]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

الْمُرَادُ فِي عُرْفِ أَهْلِ الشَّرْعِ بِالْعَيْبِ الَّذِي يُرَدُّ بِهِ الْمَبِيعُ مَا يَنْقُصُ الثَّمَنَ أَيْ الَّذِي اشْتَرَى بِهِ كَمَا فِي الْفَتْحِ، قَالَ؛ لِأَنَّ ثُبُوتَ الرَّدِّ بِالْعَيْبِ لِتَضَرُّرِ الْمُشْتَرِي وَمَا يُوجِبُ نُقْصَانَ الثَّمَنِ يُتَضَرَّرُ بِهِ. اهـ وَعِبَارَةُ الْهِدَايَةِ: وَمَا أَوْجَبَ نُقْصَانَ الثَّمَنِ فِي عَادَةِ التُّجَّارِ فَهُوَ عَيْبٌ؛ لِأَنَّ التَّضَرُّرَ بِنُقْصَانِ الْمَالِيَّةِ وَذَلِكَ بِانْتِقَاصِ الْقِيمَةِ
