Question:
Please, Ibrahim, come on the line with us. Shaykh Salih. Yes. Peace be upon you. Peace. There are point machines in shops where the purchase amounts are paid. The question is: for every transaction, the bank takes eight percent, and some customers insist on increasing the purchase amount and request the change in cash. For example, if the purchase amount is fifty riyals, they request one hundred riyals and receive fifty riyals in cash. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
The ruling on this is that you pay the price, take the goods, and leave the points alone. What are these points? Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you. May Allah reward you with good. May Allah bless you.
