Recently, someone knocked my car. he paid me R1300 for the damages. i went to the panelbeater who quoted me R1400. i eventually managed to twisthis arm & i am having my car repaired for R1000. what am i to do with teh R300 excess?

Answer

What we understand is that the person paid you R1,300 through a mutual
agreement before you went to the panelbeater. If so, it will be permissible
for you to keep the excess R300.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
