Question: A man bought an item and then discovered a defect. What is the ruling?

Answer: If the buyer did not see the defect at the time of purchase, nor at the time when he took possession, nor did the seller tell him about it; then the buyer has a choice: he may return the item or accept it at the full price agreed upon. 

The buyer does not have the right to demand a reduction in the price as compensation for the defect. However the seller can reduce the price on his own will if he does not want to lose the sale. 

اذا اطلع المشتري على عيب في المبيع فهو بالخيار : ان شاء اخذه بجيع الثمن وان شاء رده ( القدوري ٢٠٧)

And Allah Knows Best
