Using government vehicles for the personal affairs of employees
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 16594 )
Q: Whatis the ruling on using government vehicles for the personal affairs of employees?Please note that all fuel requirements are provided to the user, regular maintenance is performed on the vehicle, and a monthly transportation allowance is paid to the user along with the salary. I hope you will clarify this matter from a Shari'ah perspective and offer advice to those who use them. May Allah preserve you and protect you.
A: It is not permissible to use government vehicles assigned to departments for
personal purposes; rather, they are to be used only for the government work for which they were assigned, because using them for anything other than their assigned purpose is using them without right. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
