Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man bought something from me and gave me more money than I asked for, and I do not know whether he gave it out of forgetfulness or knowingly. Am I required to return the money to him?

I ask him: What is the reason for this excess? Yes.
