Question
A buyer purchases a product, and the store owner tells him that if he pays in cash, he will pay a lower price, and if he pays by credit card, the price is higher. Is there a prohibition of ribit (interest) when paying by credit card at the higher price?
Answer
If it is for the expenses of the credit card company, it is permitted.
