The increase in price in exchange for deferral in a sale

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there any objection to increasing the amount in exchange for a delay? In buying and selling.

Answer:
It is well known that a deferred sale is made at a higher price than a spot sale. There is no harm in that if it is for the sake of the deferral.

Deferring the increase in a debt: if a person has a debt owed to him and the debtor goes bankrupt or is unable to pay, and then the debt is increased and deferred a second time, this is the riba (usury or interest) of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and it is forbidden. Allah the Exalted said:
And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew.وَإِن كَانَ ذُو عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلَىٰ مَيْسَرَةٍ وَأَن تَصَدَّقُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:280]
So the one who is in difficulty is given time until he is able to pay, without any increase due to the delay, or he is forgiven, and that is better. And if you give in charity, this is a charity
if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for youوَأَن تَصَدَّقُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:280]
