Summary
Giving coupons to customers who reach a set purchase value is permissible. It falls under commercial dealings, where the default ruling is permissibility unless there is evidence prohibiting it. Once a customer meets the stated condition, the trader must honour the coupon. The practice must be free from usury, oppression, greed and betrayal of trust, and conducted with honesty.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tuntasnya, pemberian kupon oleh peniaga kepada pelanggan adalah harus dan dibolehkan oleh syarak.
