Giving a government employee’s car to one of his sons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: An employee was given a car by the state due to his official position. Since he owns a car, he gave this state-owned car to one of his sons, knowing that the car belongs to the state. Is his action correct?
Answer:
I told you that if the car is attached to the position, meaning his rank requires that he be given a car for his personal needs and uses, there is no harm in that, or for his deputy or agent. But if the car is for work, it is not permissible for him to use it for his personal needs, nor to give it to his son.
