Going to gas stations for a free box of tissues
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some people go to gas stations for their car fuel, and also to get a free box of tissues. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
Going by car just for a box of tissues is, in fact, a form of baseness. I say it is baseness. This box of tissues has no real benefit. They achieve a sound objective: customers with base souls come to them for the box of tissues, so they benefit. But your benefit is not a box of tissues; this is a loss. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
