Is it permissible for a person to take a fee for the late payment of his debt if that is rightfully owed to the office owner?
The money paid to obtain a document is an exclusive right of its applicant, not the office, because the office owner issued it for free. Therefore, the money must be returned to the owner of the document. As for the issue of debt, the worker has the right to demand that the office owner pay it.
