Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I work in a school, and its principal appointed me as his agent to purchase items for the school at a price known to them. The shop owner, the seller, favored me because he knows me, and left me a discount on the price. Is it permissible for me to keep this amount for myself?
Answer:
No, you are an agent and you do not take anything for yourself.
