Service Fee On EFT
Question
Can we charge a service fee to a person doing an EFT in lieu of cash? For example, accepting cash and carrying comes with a high risk of endangerment.
Answer
Yes, it is permissible on condition that there is mutual agreement between both the parties for charging a service fee, and the service that is being rendered is known to both the parties.
