Is it permissible for a seller to favor a buyer by reducing the price for him?

Question : The questioner says: I have a relative who holds a high position, and I interceded through him so that I could buy a car for myself, because the owner of the showroom gave it to him for half the price due to his position. Is there anything required of him?

Answer : Yes, it is permissible for the seller to favor the buyer and sell him what is worth one hundred for fifty, on the condition that the seller is not an agent for someone else. If he is an agent for someone else, it is not permissible for him to favor anyone with the money of another. So, if the owner of the showroom favored this man of high position and reduced the price for him, there is no blame on you for taking it for the same price he sold it for. Yes, if we knew that this man reduced the price because he thought his owner was the one buying it, then in this case it is obligatory for you to leave the reduction he gave to the man of high position.
