The reward given by the customer to the employee

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I work in a company and receive a monthly salary. Sometimes, when I provide a service to one of the customers, he gives me a reward.

Answer:
No, this is a bribe. Your salary from the company is sufficient for you, and you should not take anything from the customers. This is a bribe. Cursed is the one who gives it, cursed is the one who takes it, and cursed is the one who facilitates it.
