Taking gifts from the companies we deal with
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The tenth question of Fatwa No. ( 20628 )
Q10: We are employees in a government entity, and this entity has a contract with a company for the supply of fuel. The company has offered us some cards—gifts—in our capacity as the link connecting the two parties , and we are certain that these gifts are not added to the amounts spent
by the company, knowing that what is spent for them is audited by higher authorities, namely the financial affairs department.
A10: It is not permissible to take these gifts from the companies you deal with; because they fall under the category of bribery, and gifts to workers are embezzlement. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
