The buyer's profit from delayed payment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man sold goods to another, and they agreed on payment in a specific month, but the buyer did not fulfill this until after a year, having traded with these items. His question is: Is the profit he obtained during that period forbidden?
Answer:
No, it is not forbidden. This is his money, this is from his money, and the profit is from his money. What would make it forbidden? But his delay is what is forbidden, whereas the earnings he obtained are lawful for him. Yes.
