Accepting gifts from employees present in the association
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa number ( 20311 )
Q2: Is it permissible for me to accept gifts from the employees present in the association? Since if one of them travels to his country, he brings a gift and presents it to me? And if the answer is that it is not permissible, should I return it to them? For your information, my authority in the association is limited, as there are those in the association with more authority (the Vice President, the President, the Board of Directors), but I am the one directly dealing with them. Please inform us, may Allah guide you, with a sufficient and comprehensive answer, may Allah preserve you and bless you.
A2: It is not permissible for you to accept gifts from the employees under the association; because, given the situation described, it is considered a bribe. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
