Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | I sold my car, and we agreed to deliver the price on a specific day, but the buyer could not deliver, and it has now been a month and a half past the agreed date. Now I have asked for the price, and he said he would pay me the price by the middle of the month, and he promised to pay an additional amount for the period of delay "a month and a half". Is it permissible for me to take that amount?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: that giving it to you unconditionally as a gift or a present or compensation is permissible to accept, and God knows best.
