Istifta 110 — Dealing with laws in non-Muslim countries

A Muslim buys a commodity from a foreign company in a non-Muslim country; the seller by mistake gives more than what was ordered. Is the Muslim customer allowed to take the extra? Is he obliged to inform the seller about the mistake?
Answer
It is not lawful for him to take the excess amount; if he did so, it is obligatory for him to return it.
