Q: Some stores mark products at a certain price but round of the amount, for example, the item is marked at R12.99 or R12.95. They then round of the amount and sell the product at R13. There's no question of change. Is this permissible?
A: It is not right for the seller to mark the item at R12.95 or R12.99 when he knows that he will not be giving any change to the purchaser. This is in actual fact cheating the customer. Dishonesty and cheating is not the way of Islam. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "The one who cheats (or deceives) us is not from us." (Saheeh Muslim #101)
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
