Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A group of partners appointed one of them to buy a commodity for them, so the seller gave that buying agent money without the knowledge of his partners. What is the ruling on that money? And is it required that he seek permission from his partners to take it?
Answer:
It appears that this is a bribe, so that he buys from him and not from someone else. This is a bribe, or it resembles a bribe.
