Question
A person is about to undergo a series of treatments at the dentist, and those who pay in advance for all treatments receive a discount. Is it permissible to pay in advance for the treatments, or is it considered interest?
Answer
Since the main payment to the dentist is for the treatments, there is no prohibition on advance payment. Even if he offers two prices, one for cash and another for installments.
