Question
When I make a purchase in a certain store, and a friend joins the purchase and wants me to buy something for him as well, and since I put a lot of effort into this I managed to obtain a discount on the purchase, for example 10%. Do I have to give my friend the same 10% discount, or may I keep this profit for myself, since he would have bought it at full price anyway? May I even not tell him that I received a discount, or am I obligated to tell him and give him the discount as well?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The discount belongs to the one who pays.
And since the friend is the one paying for the purchase, the discount belongs to him.
