Giving the Speculator an Increase on the Capital Upon Termination of the Speculation
A person gave another two million lira to operate, and after eight months, he did not give him the profit, so he demanded the capital back. The other person returned it to him and gave him an increase, saying it was out of goodwill. What is the ruling on this increase?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This increase is considered a gift and a present, and it is permissible according to Sharia as long as it is without condition, and God knows best.
