Assalam u Alikum Ustadh, Does this case change the ruling on late payments fees: The receiver incurs additional costs if a payment is made late. The late fee is used to cover the cost of late collection and doesn't depend on how much time past after the deadline (1 day vs 1 month = same fee).

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

What I have understood is that there are late fees, and it doesn't make a difference if it's one day or one month. Bottom line: there are fees for any delay.
