Is it permissible to donate the value of financial coupons received as compensation for delayed food delivery, given the feeling that this compensation is unlawful?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Compensation for delayed meal delivery is not permissible unless actual financial damage results from it. The damage for which compensation is allowed includes real financial damage and confirmed loss, but does not include moral or emotional damage. A penalty clause is not enforceable if the breach of contract was beyond one's control, or if the aggrieved party did not suffer any damage. If the coupons can be returned to their owners, they must be returned. Donating their value is not permissible unless returning them is impossible.
