Q: My mother knew I was owing someone money so when the person came to buy from the place she works, she gave a discount which I paid. I only knew of this when she told me which was after she sold the item with a discount. So will this be valid?
A: If it was in any way in consideration of the loan that was forwarded then this is not right. It has a semblance with riba (interest).
وعن أنس قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا أقرض أحدكم قرضا فأهدى إليه أو حمله على الدابة فلا يركبه ولا يقبلها إلا أن يكون جرى بينه وبينه قبل ذلك رواه ابن ماجه والبيهقي في شعب الإيمان (مشكاة رقم 2831)
