The Ruling on the Agent Taking Gifts and Settlements
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the settlements and gifts that an agent obtains, does he take them for himself, or is it necessary for him to inform the principal?
Answer:
The agent does not take anything except his fee. If the principal permits him to take something, there is nothing wrong with that. However, the seller who gave you these items may be doing so to prevent you from buying from anyone else, in which case this would be a bribe, and that is not permissible. Yes.
