LessonsKhiyar al-Ru’yah: Inspection, Unauthorized Sale and OptionsQuiz

وَإِنْ رَأَى صَحْنَ الدَّارِ فَلَا خِيَارَ لَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُشَاهِدْ بُيُوتَهَا
Translation: If the buyer sees the courtyard of a house, the inspection option is lost even if the rooms were not personally seen.

Sahn al-dar is the open central courtyard, while buyutuha refers to rooms of the house. The chapter expressly counts seeing the courtyard as sufficient for khiyar al-ru’yah.

That should not be confused with a separate claim based on a concealed defect, false measurement or an expressly promised feature. Such claims rest on different causes.
