What one should do if he stamped an official document and a balance remained
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Mansur from Riyadh, please go ahead, Mansur. Hello, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The questioner:
Shaykh, I have two questions. The first question, may you live long: I had a document that I needed to have stamped by the Chamber of Commerce for twenty-five riyals, or to have a stamp put on it. I only had twenty riyals with me, so I gave them twenty riyals, may you live long, and they stamped it. I remember having five riyals left in the car. I said, "I will go get the five riyals from the car and come back, if Allah wills." I went to the car but did not find the five riyals, so I came back. They stamped it, meaning I said, "They stamped it," and I left. I have not gone back to them since then, so I do not know what to do now.
The Shaykh:
Return it to them or send it to them, deliver it to them, yes.
The questioner:
I must return it to the one who was prevented because I did not complete the transaction.
The Shaykh:
This is a debt upon you, no, this is a debt upon you and it is their right, so you must pay it to them. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
