Question
A buyer purchases products, and if he pays half of the amount in advance, he will receive a discount? Is there a concern of ribit in this?
Answer
If the seller does not have the products and needs to manufacture them, it is considered a fixed discount, and a heter iska is required. If he has all the products, there is no concern of ribit.
