Giving a discount to the purchaser after the sale is concluded
Question
My parents take products which they pay for later.
1. Sometimes they pay a few rands extra out of love. Is this fine?
2. Sometimes, I wish to give them a discount when I’m sending them the account (as they sometimes help me to clear stock that is close to date). Can I give them a discount after they have taken possession?
Answer
1. As long as the price is fixed at the time of the sale, the transaction is valid. If they wish to give you a few rands extra, it is permissible.
2. Yes, it is permissible for you to give them a discount.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
