Question:
Is giving a little food or money to hotel cleaning staff and employees considered a bribe?
Answer:
If you give it to them so that they will clean your shop, that is a bribe, because they have a salary from the entity where they work, so they are required to do the work without taking anything from people. The one who does not do his work and cleaning unless he is given a bribe, and you are helping him in this invalid work, so do not do it. But if you look at him as someone in need, you see that he is in need and poor, and you give to him because of his poverty, not for his work, not for his work with you, or you give to him because of his poverty, then that is good.
