Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on increasing the traffic violation tickets after one month has passed since the ticket was written?
The Shaykh:
He means the fines for traffic violations.
The questioner:
Yes, indeed. Now, under the traffic regulations, if it is not paid after one month, it is doubled for him. Yes.
The Shaykh:
The default is that this is not permissible; the default is that this is not permissible. This resembles the riba (usury or interest) of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, where the amount increased for him with every delay. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
