Summary
Selling goods together with a standard warranty covering repair service for a set period is permissible, and the price may be raised for a longer warranty period (extended warranty) if there is mutual agreement. Buying a warranty card or extended warranty separately from the goods is not permitted because it involves gharar and gambling (qimar), and is basically like conventional insurance. It is allowed if done on the basis of takaful. The standard warranty is permitted because it follows the sale contract, based on the maxim that what is overlooked in a dependent is not overlooked in the principal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dibenarkan menjual barang bersama dengan waranti servis baik pulih dalam tempoh tertentu atau disebut standard warranty.
