Q: I’m using a banking app, so I have transferred funds from 1 account to another but the transaction failed and the balance has been deducted from my account. After a few minutes, I received a refund but my 2nd account has also been credited with that amount… So I’m asking that should I return it to the merchant as I have been paid this extra amount mistakenly.
A: Enquire about it. If more money has come in your account, then return it to the rightful owner.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
