The question

What is the amount legally due for a travel ticket: 1300 Riyals — which was the ticket price at the time of contract renewal — or 2100 Riyals — which is the ticket price on the same day for my wife from the same country and airline — knowing that I fear getting into an argument with the official due to his nature?

The answer

If the company pays half the price of tickets, there is no objection to informing the official of the real value of the wife's ticket (2100 Riyals). However, if the wife uses a ticket with extra features or other airlines whose costs the company does not commit to cover, then it is not permissible to take the difference, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." If you are unsure about the company's terms, verify them. Your fear of the official's inappropriate words does not permit you to take what you are not entitled to.
