Summary
Malik says: the disliked practice, about which there is no dispute among us, is that a man has a debt on another for a term, and the creditor remits part of it, and the debtor pays it at once. This is among us like one who postpones his debt after its due date to his creditor, and the debtor increases what is owed. He said: this is exactly riba, without doubt. 1
