Summary
A trader who gives customers extra goods without expecting any return or payment is performing a form of sadaqah. Traders are encouraged to give sadaqah often in their business, as the Prophet SAW advised. Those who do so are promised reward and the erasure of their sins. Traders should also equip themselves with knowledge of trade, including what is lawful and unlawful and the etiquette of buying and selling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Peniaga yang memberi barang lebih kepada pelanggan tanpa mengharapkan apa-apa balasan atau bayaran daripadanya adalah salah satu bentuk sedekah.
