Ruling on not paying the tailor's full fee due to the high price

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks and says: Is it permissible not to pay the tailor's full fee because the price is high?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Muslims are bound by their conditionsالمسلمون على شروطهم
And Allah says above that:
O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَوْفُوا بِالْعُقُودِ
[Al-Ma'idah: 1], so if a woman or a man contracts with a tailor for a known item, it is obligatory for them to perform it, whether it is raised or not,
Muslims are bound by their conditionsالمسلمون على شروطهم
, and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
Rights are determined by the conditionsمقاطع الحقوق عند الشروط
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:1759
, so if they agree that he will sew this garment for ten ariyal... for twenty... for thirty, and they agree on this, and they hand the garment over to him, it is obligatory for them to pay him the wage. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
