Increasing Profit Margin Due To Late Purchase By Promising Buyer
In case the promising buyer unilaterally extends the date for the purchase of the goods from the bank, is it permissible for the bank to increase the profit rate in consideration for this late purchase?
It is not permissible for the bank to increase the profit margin if the promising buyer unilaterally postpones the purchase. The bank should take measures to ensure that the client purchases the goods on the date agreed-upon, since the promise to purchase is considered binding.
