Returning the merchandise and delaying the return of the price until tomorrow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man bought an item from a shop, then returned it because he no longer needed it. The shop owner accepted the return but told him, "I don't have any cash right now, but I will give it to you tomorrow." Is this correct?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. It is not riba (usury or interest). If he says, "Yes, I am returning the item, but I don't have any cash right now. I will give you the amount I took from you," there is nothing wrong with that. It is not riba. Yes.
