The Ruling on the Cafeteria Manager Accepting Gifts from Companies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions, it is said: Some companies that deal with school cafeterias offer gifts, such as gold sets and the like. Is it permissible for the female teacher in charge of the cafeteria to accept them?
Answer:
This is not permissible because this is a bribe. They give her a share in the company, giving her this in order for her to contract with them and prefer them over other companies. This is a forbidden bribe. The employee and the official in any place do not take from people in exchange for their work or gifts given to them; they do not take them because it is a bribe, because they want to win them over. With these gifts, they win them over to their side. Yes.

May Allah bless you,
