Ruling on buying an item under the name of another item for the purpose of getting a discount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I work in one of the bookstores affiliated with a university, and some publications have two prices: one price for individuals and ordinary people, and another price for institutions and governments. Is it permissible for us to buy the publications at the price for individuals, since it is much lower than the bookstore prices?
It is known that bookstore prices are cheaper because they buy in bulk.
The questioner: On the contrary, the price for individuals is very cheap, while the prices for institutions are high.
The Shaykh: In any case, it is not permissible to buy an item under the name of one of two things for the purpose of getting a discount; this is forbidden.
