Question
I am a contractor performing work, and I want to set two prices: a lower price for those who pay before the work is done, and a higher price for those who pay after the work is completed. Is there a prohibition of interest in setting two prices?
Answer
In the hiring of a worker, similar to renting an apartment, it is permissible to set two prices: a lower price for those who pay at the beginning of the work, and a higher price for those who pay at the end of the work. There is no prohibition of interest in this.
