Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person sent me to run an errand for him and gave me money to take a taxi there and back, the amount being twenty riyals. He says: I took the bus for two riyals. Is the remainder permissible for me?
Answer:
If the bus fare is known and he does not know about it, you should alert him. If he permits it, take it. If he does not know the fare, you alert him that it is less than that. If he permits you to keep the extra, there is no harm. Yes.
