The Ruling on Repaying a Loan with More Than the Amount Borrowed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And here, O Shaykh, Allah informs you: Is it permissible if I borrow five riyals from a man and return ten to him, and not just to men?
Answer:
If it was not a condition imposed on you at the time of the loan that you return more, and you returned more out of good will, there is no harm in that. If you borrow dirhams from a person and return more than that without any condition, there is no harm in that, because this is an act of good will. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The best of you are those who are best in repaying their debts
خيركم أحسنكم قضاء
