Is it permissible to take the price of the front car windshield (the "barbriz") that a person broke with his motorcycle, knowing that there was a previous crack in it?
Whoever damages a defective item must pay its value in that condition, not as if it were sound, because the value assessment takes into account the state of the item at the time of damage. Therefore, the questioner erred by taking the price of the item as sound while knowing it was broken. He must seek forgiveness from the one who paid the money or return the excess amount.
