Accepting gifts from customers by an employee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I work for a company, and some customers come to me and give me some gifts. Is it permissible for me to accept them?
The Shaykh:
This is a bribe and illicit gain, so do not accept them. Your salary from the company is sufficient for you. No employee accepts gifts from people, because it is a bribe.
The presenter:
That is all, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best.
