Q: My child attends an Islamic school. They recieved a note saying that if school fees are not paid by a certain date then an amount will be charged daily and the account will be handed over. Is this money they will charge daily after the cut off date permissible?
A: The extra money charged after the cut-off date is impermissible. (Quraan 2:275; Hidaayah 3:78)
