Exchanging one hundred riyals for ninety-six, with the remainder being waived
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A man came to me wanting me to exchange one hundred riyals for him.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I only had ninety-six riyals, so he said, “Give me what you have, and the rest is a gift from me to you.” Is this action valid?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it, if it is a gift and a waiver, then there is no harm. However, if you negotiated with him and he said, “I will not give you anything unless you lower this for me,” then there is no harm. But if you did not negotiate with him, and he simply waived the difference, then there is nothing wrong with that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
