Question
Is it permissible to repair a car at Arab garages that sell car parts cheaply?
Answer
It is forbidden to purchase car parts from Arabs suspected of stealing cars, dismantling them, and selling the parts, as most of the parts they sell are likely stolen, and there may not even be a minority that is not stolen.
The buyer transgresses the prohibition of "do not place a stumbling block before the blind," as the buyer causes further thefts. If they do not find buyers, they will have no reason to steal.
