Taking a fee from the buyer in the case of a sale cancellation (iqalah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the seller cancels the sale with the buyer regarding a commodity, but the seller says, “I will deduct a specific amount from you, and then I will return the rest to you,” does the seller receive the full fee for the cancellation?
Answer:
No, in a cancellation (iqalah), nothing is taken in exchange for it; one cancels it for the sake of Allah, and one does not cancel it on the condition that he gives him money. Yes.
