Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The head of our department at work received a promotion, and the colleagues agreed to rent a hall and prepare a dinner for him on this occasion. Is it permissible for us to do this for our head?
Answer:
In this case, if they all did this, there is nothing wrong with it; because they are not suspected of having an ulterior motive. However, if one of them did this, then it is not permissible for him.
