Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am entrusted with a shop, and I sell and buy, and I am responsible for everything in the shop. Is it permissible for me to take from the value of some of the sales on the condition that I record it as a debt against myself until I receive my salary and pay back what I took, without the owner of the money knowing?
Answer:
You are a trustee, my brother, and this is not permissible for you except with the permission of the owner of the money. If he gives you permission, there is no harm. But taking from his money without his knowledge is not permissible, even if you consider it a loan in your possession. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
