I work as a assistant accountant for a marketing firm. One of my task is processing invoices into the system. Generally suppliers are not strict with timings, and even if you missed deadline to pay they dont really mind. This one supplier has charged a late fee. Is it permissible for me to process this payment? I know late fees are generally riba but if there is an agreement between the company and this vendor, that late payments will result in a penalty, is it really an issue? alternatively, can i ask someone else to process this, to be safe
