Gift after Loan Repayment
Question
My friend gave me a loan that saved my business, and thanks to him, I closed a very profitable deal. Is it permissible for me to buy him a gift, noting that I have already repaid the debt in full?
Answer
It is forbidden for the borrower to give the lender a gift or additional payment even after repayment if the reason for giving is due to the loan.
