The ruling on accepting gifts in exchange for completing official duties
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My husband works in one of the financial institutions, and some transactions are referred to him, and he completes them by lawful and unlawful means. After completing them, a few months later, he is surprised by the presentation of valuable gifts, some of which are chocolate or money. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to give workers and employees anything for completing their official duties; this is a bribe. Allah has cursed the one who gives the bribe and the one who takes it, and it is a forbidden, illicit gain, so he should not accept it. Yes.
