Assalaamu’alaikum ​Sheikh Sajid Umar. My family and I are really grateful for the Islamic guidance shared during your trips to Dubai. ​​Sheikh Sajid, a question I had is related to the discount booklets that are sold here. In fact there are actual apps that you can purchase that offer the same discount service. Basically the purchase affords you an opportunity to receive discounts from several shops, restaurants, hotels, theme parks etc. The discount booklet and app is sold for an amount (up to +/- 300​ ​​Dirhams​ at times, and affords discounts that allow you ​a saving, if used, of more than the purchase price. Is this permissible in the Shariah?
