Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I buy bread from the shopkeeper for one riyal and give him one hundred riyals, and he tells me, "Take forty riyals, and come back tomorrow for the rest," what is the ruling?
Answer:
It is not permissible, it is not permissible. He is owed a riyal, my brother; do not give him one hundred riyals for a one-riyal debt. Go and get him a riyal. I will spend it at the shopkeeper or with someone else, and I will not leave a loaf with him and go, and the loaf will not be gone. Pay him in full between you, and he is paid in full for the loaf.
