Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A friend of mine appointed me to buy some fruits, so I went to the market and found someone I know selling these fruits, but he did not take any money from me in exchange. He says: What should I do? Should I calculate it at the market price, or should I tell him that I took them for free?
Answer:
He should tell him the truth; he should tell the one who appointed him the truth. If he approves of this, then there is no harm. Yes.
