1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for the owner of the operating system to install it on any device he wishes, and he is not obliged to fulfill a condition if it contradicts the essence of the contract. The essence of a valid sale is the transfer of ownership of the sold item to the buyer, and in such a case, he is permitted to dispose of it by placing it wherever he desires.
