Ruling on Taking Tissue Boxes from Gas Stations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, you previously issued a ruling that it is not permissible to take tissue boxes from gas stations. My question is: What is the ruling on someone who is given a tissue without intending to take one, but he needs the gasoline, and this station was on his way?

Answer:
This is, for example, like prizes. Merely taking tissues as prizes: they make prizes for whoever exceeds their limit, giving them a prize, which is giving them boxes of tissues, or waiving the charge for a second time, or washing their car, or something similar, for the sake of the Lord of people.
Dealing with your station and forbidding others. As for the others, either they work like he does, or they are harmed. So, because of the harm, this becomes forbidden: causing harm.
It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”لا ضرر ولا ضرار
Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam)

But if he takes a tissue or a box and the owner of the station permits it as a prize, but gives it to him as a gift, a gift.

Yes.
