Do you not see, O my brothers, that a\u00a0pharmacy announces a discount [at times]. It announces a discount\u00a0on prices for the customers in order for the people to purchase from it. The discount card, which a person does not give something in exchange for it, is a type from the types of discounts. However, it is not a discount that is general for the people; however, it is a discount for this [specific] customer. It is not a\u00a0compensation, it is a donation from the\u00a0company to be benefited from. These cards are permissible as the Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Verdicts which is associated with\u00a0the Council of Senior Scholars has passed a\u00a0verdict regarding that. This is because it is a donation, which does not have any prohibition in it. \u00a0So upon [this], bonus cards, which are given to the customers as\u00a0gifts, free of charge, are permissible.
