Repaying Principal With Something Extra
Would it be permissible for the borrower to repay the loan amount with some extra value above the principal?
It is permissible for the borrower to repay an amount greater than the size of the loan as a gesture of goodwill (without letting such a gesture become customary practice), but impermissible for the borrower to promise to pay a greater amount at the time of borrowing or for the lender to demand a greater amount.
