Summary
Malik says there is no harm in the lender receiving something better than what he lent, whether gold, silver, food or animals, if that was not by stipulation or custom. If it was by stipulation, promise or custom, that is disliked and there is no good in it. The Messenger repaid a choice four-year-old camel in place of a young camel he had borrowed, and Abdullah ibn Umar borrowed dirhams and repaid better ones. If it was with the borrower's full consent, and was not by stipulation, promise or custom, it is lawful and not harmful. 1
