Q: I sell 1m lengths of pipe at R80. I purchase these ready cut. I have a marking on my counter to measure 1m. Those who purchase don't specifically require 1m but purchase the metre as that's how it's sold. It is advertised as 1m. I noticed a pipe today that was marginally short. I therefore refunded R2 to the customer but did not inform him why. The pipe will still fulfill the function for which it was purchased. What is the ruling regarding this transaction?

Q:
1. If a customer was to order something that the business didn't own (it wasn't in stock) and rather than paying full price on it, they agreed to put a deposit down and pay full price after the product was delivered to their house and it was fitted into their house (fitting is a separate service and a customer can order a product and request fitting it into their house or they can order a product with the fitting service together).
Would the income be halal for this? The product will be delivered to the shop first and then the business will send the product to the customers house and fit it.
2. If you tell a customer that the product isn't in stock and they have to order it in and if they do, they don’t have to pay full price, rather just a deposit and then when the product is delivered to their house or ready to collect from the businesses store, they can pay full price after that, is the income halal?
