Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some commercial establishments place a card for every customer who buys from them, and each time he buys from them, they give him a point, so that when he accumulates two hundred points, he is entitled to buy for free an amount worth ninety riyals.
Answer:
More than what is for himself, so it is not permissible for him to take money that was not given to him, nor to entice the owners of other establishments. And if there is a soul that is sold on his behalf, it is not permissible for him to ask about it. Yes.
