The gift.
The questioner:
Yes, if the administration gives me a gift, do I accept it?
The Shaykh:
If it is not from the clients, but rather from your administration as a form of encouragement for you, or as a prize for something in which you excelled in your work, then there is nothing wrong with it. Accepting it from the offices that are the employee's reference point, as a form of encouragement, is permissible. However, accepting it from the clients is not permissible. Yes.
