Question:
The questioner says: A person asked me to buy a set of perfumes, which were priced at twenty-five riyals. When I negotiated with the seller, he sold them to me for twenty. Is it permissible to take the remaining amount of the money without informing him?
Answer:
It is not permissible. That is his money, so you must return the remainder to him because it is his. If he permits you to keep it, then there is no harm. Yes.
