The Ruling on Accepting Gifts from Employees
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I am an employee in a government department, and some people may offer me gifts when I serve them, but I do not accept them for fear that they are a bribe. What is the ruling and the guidance? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
It is not permissible to give workers and employees anything for completing their official duties; this is a bribe. May Allah curse the one who gives the bribe and the one who takes it. It is illicit, forbidden wealth, so do not accept it.
