Question
Is it permissible to agree that if the employer pays on time after the work, he pays one price, and if he delays the payment, he pays more?
Answer
It is permissible to specify two price lists in the hiring of a worker only if the lower price applies during the rental period. However, once the worker's rental period has ended, it is forbidden to agree that if payment is delayed, a higher price will be charged.
