Taking less than the agreed upon price

· 6 Safar 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I rent out cars to tourists and sometimes while doing currency conversion, I take lesser than the agreed price as they don't have change or coins are not available. I take lesser to be on the safe side and not taking more as I may be sinning. Is the way I proceed OK?

Answer

It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
