Are late-payment charges the same at every Islamic finance company?

Educational answer

Do not assume that they are. IIFA’s installment-sale resolution prohibits increasing the debt because of late payment. Ask your provider to explain every default-related charge and its Shariah basis. Do not assume all charges are waived, or that every provider donates them to charity; check the actual agreement and obtain qualified clarification.
