Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on a manager accepting an invitation or wedding feast from his subordinates for lunch or dinner? Does this fall under the gifts of workers, which are considered embezzlement?
The Shaykh:
No, it does not fall under the gifts of workers. If the feast is a general one, there is nothing wrong with the manager attending it and accepting his brother’s invitation. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
As for if the feast is specifically for him, it is not permissible for him to attend it. Yes.
