Using the computer and office paper for personal purposes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: I work in a private sector and I use the computer and paper for my personal matters. Is that permissible, even though I am certain that if I mentioned it to them, they would have no objection and would actually welcome it? What is the ruling, may Allah grant you success?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is not permissible to do this frequently. However, if it is just once, or for something urgent, and only once, that is tolerated. But doing it constantly is not permissible, even if they give you permission.
