Keeping the remaining amount with the creditor due to the difficulty of exchanging it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a man asks me for fifty riyals, and I give him one hundred riyals, and he cannot find change for the rest, what is the ruling on keeping the hundred with him until I find change later? Please advise us, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you keep the remainder with him as a trust in his possession, there is probably no harm in that, because you did not delay taking possession of the money, but rather you delayed the coins with him as a trust in them until he finds change, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
