Seller charging less for an item
Question
A seller charged me £1 for an item. The next day I purchased the same thing but this time he charged me £2, citing that he made an error the previous day. Do I owe him £1?
Answer
If it was an item that he owned then you don't owe him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
