The answer

A late fee is not permissible in Islamic law because it is a form of riba (usury) from the pre-Islamic era. Therefore, a void condition or stipulation does not have to be fulfilled and is not permissible. A person must strive to avoid it by all possible means. If compelled to pay it, there is no sin upon him, and the one responsible for it is whoever caused the delay.
