The ruling on eating some of the dates for one who works in a shop for another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on eating from these dates? Sometimes, when weighing them, I eat some of the dates. Also, when I am fasting, I take some dates from the shop and break my fast with them. What is the ruling on my work? And what is the ruling on my fasting? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If these dates belong to someone else and you are merely selling them for him, and you are a worker in the shop, then do not eat from them except with the permission of the shop owner. Ask him for permission to break your fast with some of these dates. If he gives you permission, there is nothing wrong with it. Eating one or two dates is an easy matter; there is no blame on you, if Allah wills. Yes.
