Advice regarding the free gifts that merchants distribute to households

Question:
The audacity of some merchants here in Jeddah has reached the point where they send some of their workers with what they claim are free gifts, knocking on the doors of people and families and giving them these items. There is a fear that some corrupt individuals might use this as a means to violate the sanctity of homes. We ask for a piece of advice.

Answer:
All of these are corrupt actions; they are all corrupt actions. Merchants should restrict themselves to honorable and honest dealings, stay in their shops, and buy and sell in a manner that involves no twisting or any of these matters. This is the correct approach in buying and selling: not to let these things enter it. If, as the questioner mentioned, they are knocking on doors, and this may lead to harms in some households, then these are wrongdoings that must be prevented, and those who engage in this must be deterred. If there is a fear that these wrongdoings may result from it, then it is forbidden without a doubt, and it must be prevented, and those who do this must be deterred. On what basis are they knocking on doors and presenting gifts?
We have not heard that they are generous. If they were generous, they would be kind to the poor and the needy and support the mujahideen in the path of Allah. That is if they have generosity and are willing to spend their money. But this manipulation and these trivial actions must be prevented. Yes.
