Ruling on Gifts for Workers and Employees

A man is an employee, a client has him...?

Q: What if a reward comes to a worker at his job?
The Shaykh: If it is from the one in authority, there is nothing wrong with it. Have you heard the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): He did not give it to him except for the sake of his authority.
Q: And what if the public benefit is not achieved except by that?
The Shaykh: Even if he claims that the public benefit requires it, he should not give him anything. He should be patient and take it through the known, lawful means.
Q: What is its ruling regarding ghalul?
The Shaykh: Ghalul is from ghalul. Ghal is hatred, and ghal is the bond that is on the neck, and ghalul is what a person takes from the war spoils or other things without right.
