Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking some of the gifts given when purchasing certain items from shops, and likewise, on receiving a box of tissues from some gas stations when refueling the car from them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take gifts from shops because this affects other shops; it affects those who do not give gifts, as customers will spend their money with those who offer gifts. This harms people, so this practice is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
