Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I buy vegetables for one of the restaurants, I settle the account with the vegetable owner for the amount on the invoice, and the seller gives me a small amount, saying, "This is a commission for you." Is it permissible for me to take this commission? Yes. He says that he buys vegetables for one of the restaurants, settles the account with the vegetable owner for the amount on the invoice, and the seller gives him a small amount, saying, "This is a commission for you." Is it permissible to take such a commission?
Answer:
This is a bribe, not what is called a commission; it is called a bribe. He wants you to return to him and buy from him again for the restaurant, and not go to anyone else. So this is a bribe; beware of it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 18:590 The one who gives the bribe is cursed, and the one who takes it is cursed, because it is a major sin among the major sins, and it is illicit gain, and it is forbidden earnings. Yes.
