Buying an item for less than its price: should the surplus be returned to the client or kept?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: I bought an item for less than the usual price. Is it permissible for me to take the difference without the knowledge of the owner of the money who sent me to buy that item?
Answer:
You must be truthful and not take anything other than what the client gave you. If he ordered you to buy this item for 100 riyals, for example, and you found it for 90, it is obligatory for you to return the surplus to him; you return the ten riyals to him, unless he has permitted you to keep it. Yes.
