Question:
Some gas stations offer a free car wash to anyone who buys one hundred and twenty riyals of gasoline from them. What is the ruling on this car wash?
Answer:
It is better to leave it; because they do this to encourage bargaining so that others are deterred. Leaving this is better and more appropriate.
Q: And if he does what is blameworthy?
The Shaykh: By Allah, it is better to leave it; it is the most cautious position in my view; because he may spend money in order to obtain this. Yes.
