The Ruling on Rewarding a Bus Driver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Abu 'Abdullah sent a set of questions. He says: Shaykh, we rented a bus from one of the companies and traveled with it for 'Umrah with a group of pilgrims. The driver was kind, obedient, and friendly with us. When we arrived in our country, we gave him a monetary reward, knowing that he has a salary from the company. What is the ruling on this? We are rewarded for our service.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, as far as I can see, because you did not give it to him until after you had arrived, as encouragement for the good character and conduct you experienced from him. So there is nothing wrong with that, as far as I can see. Yes.
