Is it mandatory to pay a fee for manufacturing when receiving gold
Question:
Is it mandatory to pay a fee for manufacturing when receiving gold (i.e, from manufacturers) or should we consider it a running account (ie; to be paid later)?
Answer:
It is not mandatory that this be paid, because this is a fee for work ( and not the gold itself). So if it is given when the gold is received that is fine, and if not, whenever it is given is correct
