Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I work delivering orders to customers who order them from a shop, and I go to pick them up. He says: I work delivering orders to customers who order them from a specific shop, and I go to pick them up. Sometimes the shop gives me a gift, gives me food or coffee, or a specific discount. May I benefit from that?
Answer:
No, this is a bribe. They give it to you so that they may encourage you to return to them. This is a bribe, and it is not permissible.
