Business and Dealings

Bargaining

Q: A man buys something whether it is clothes or mobile phone or anything. Will he have to bargain for the thing he's buying or not ? If a person is rich and he doesn't matter about price he just buys the thing as it rates will it be okay according to Sharia?

Early settlement discount

Q: I am in retail and many suppliers state their terms similar or as follows: COD 10% 30 Days 7% 60 Days - No discount This is the general practise amongst most wholesalers and it is clear when an account is being opened. If there is a change we are informed well in advance. I sometimes take the full 60 days without a discount but on occasions where my cash flow is better, I do take advantage of their different settlement discounts. Is this permissible?

Takaaful

Q: I am in confusion. I am worried that this confusion does not lead me to the wrong path. I have got job in takaaful insurance company named as jubilee insurance company in Pakistan. I have watched a lot of videos about Takaaful insurance and have read a lot of literature regarding this case. Many Aalims said that it is halaal in Islam but I could not find any satisfactory answer.

1. Is working in a takaaful insurance company Haraam or Halaal?

2. If I spread this takaful business, then is it good for Muslim Society?
