Question

I recently purchased a dog collar which I intended to use on my cat. Since the collar did not fit, and cannot be returned, I’d like to know if it will be permissible for me to resell the collar, and advertise it according to its actual use, which is a collar for dogs?

Answer

There is no problem in selling a dog collar. It may be advertised as a dog collar as well.

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
