Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My colleagues at work send me to buy incense and other things for them, and I take an amount over what I paid for them, and they are aware of this. Sometimes these items are for the benefit of the entity I work for. Is my action correct?
Answer:
Do not take anything unless you are authorized to do so, except for something you have been given permission to take by its owners. If they send you and give you permission to take the extra, there is nothing wrong with it. But if they do not give you permission, do not take anything. You are a trustee, and they are trustees with you regarding this. Neither the entity nor your colleagues—do not take anything unless you are permitted to do so. Yes.
