Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Shaykh Yahya, I am entrusted with a shop for buying and selling men’s and women’s necessities, and I am responsible for selling watches. Is it permissible for me to take from the value of some of the sales on the condition that I record it as a debt against me until I receive my salary? And I will pay back what I took without the owner of the money knowing.
Answer:
This is not permissible; because you are entrusted, you do not take anything for yourself except with the permission of the owner of the money. It is not permissible for you to take without the permission of the owner of the money or the knowledge of the owner of the money and say, “Record it as a debt in my liability.” His permission is necessary. Yes.
