Question:
I asked someone to buy me a few things and told them I’ll be paying them 5 percent of the total for their work and service (but not for the money put out) is there still an issue of ribbis
Answer:
Thank you for your question.
This is not an issue of ribbis. This is because you specifically told the person that you are not paying for the loan, rather for the work that was done for you in getting you the product.
Best wishes
