Working in a university cafeteria that offers discounts, taking meals for his family under that name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 21662 )
Q: I am a young man who is the provider for a family I support, and I work in a cafeteria attached to a higher education university, where the regulations allow both students and workers to eat their meals for a nominal, small amount, which does not equal the actual value of the meal.
I eat meals in this cafeteria, and I also buy additional meals for the same nominal amount to take to my family. Is this permissible in the Shari'ah? Knowing that my income is very low and does not suffice to support my family.
A: If the system of the aforementioned cafeteria allows you what you mentioned, then there is no blame on you for that. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
