Q: I am a car dealer. I am not involved in finance. However, I accept different forms of payment, such as cash, EFT and via a card machine. Is it permissible for me to decide the price of a vehicle depending on the customer’s form of payment? The bank charges me 3,25% (for a credit card) and 1,75% (for a debit card) of the total amount if the card machine is used. Can I add this percentage onto the original price of the vehicle? If so, does it have to be the exact amount the bank charges me or can I round off or add to the amount as I desire?

Q: I have a small problem. This morning I went to do some shopping. While parking, I misjudged my turning and by mistake I scraped into the car next to me. It was a very small scrape, maybe just a touch up would fix the problem on their car. Due to my financial situation I got scared and drove away without informing the person. However I am now feeling really really guilty about it and i fear Allah's punishment with regards to it, like I am scared Allah will take away barakah from my wealth that I have left or something else will happen. What can I do to fix this situation as I was scared to wait for the person to tell him what had happened.
