Taking the excess in the transfer of a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I ask a man for a sum of money, in the range of two thousand five hundred riyals, and then I transfer him to a person who owes me three thousand riyals. Then he says: I ask a person for two thousand five hundred, so transfer me to a person who owes him three thousand riyals. Is it permissible for me to take this excess?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to take it. You take the amount of your debt, only the amount of your debt. And if he permits you the excess, that is from the good of the transaction, if he permits you the excess and you did not stipulate an excess with him, and he increased it from his own choice, that is from the good of the transaction. But if he did not permit it, merely that he transferred you, take your debt, the amount of your debt, and leave the rest for him, unless he permits it. Yes.
The presenter:
