Agent disclosing the profit amount to the seller
Question
A man has left a motobike with me for selling. He mentioned a price of R13 000. He also said that I can make a profit out of it. I have found a buyer for R15 000. Do I have to tell the seller the amount of profit I have made or can I just pay him what he wants. Will the profit of R2000 be halaal for me?
Answer
No, you do not have to tell him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
