Q: I have recently bought a house through Islamic Financing. The bathroom tiles fell down about a week after we moved into the house. The seller agreed to fix few thing before closing the deal but after closing the deal, the seller refuses to fix anything. I spoke to an attorney and the attorney tried to do a settlement with the seller but he ignored us. My attorney gave me an option to file a lawsuit against the seller. My question is, if I file a lawsuit and get a compensation more than the actual cost of the damages, will that be halaal for me to keep?
A: Just take that amount that was due and not more than that.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
