Question:
What is the ruling on opening a commercial establishment under the name of a relative or brother, given that I am an employee and it is not permitted for me to do so?
Answer:
This is not permissible as long as it is not allowed for you. Lying and deceiving the one in authority is not permissible. This is a disobedience to the one in authority, because the one in authority has a legitimate interest in this. He wants the employees to devote themselves to their official duties, and also so that people do not give them preferential treatment because they are employees, in order to complete their transactions. The one in authority has a good interest in this. So, either you choose the job, or you choose the independent work. As for combining them, this is a disobedience to the one in authority and is not permissible. And do not put it under someone else's name, because that is a ruse and a lie. Yes.
