Ruling on Using Work Supplies for Personal Use

This message is from the Great Socialist People's Libyan Jamahiriya. Its sender, 'Abd al-'Ati 'Ali Qalad, sent several questions. In the first question, he asks: Is it permissible for employees in public services to take something from them, such as a pen or paper, for example?
Answer: It appears that they are not allowed to do so for themselves, unless the state permits it. If the custom of the state allows taking from one's office what one needs for one's home, that is fine. However, if it is for the benefit of the office and the government, that is known and there is no harm in it. As for taking pens, paper, or other items for other needs in his home, transferring them from the office to his home, it appears that this is not permissible except by custom. If it is customary in the state that this is permitted and that this is allowed among them, then there is no harm. But if it is not customary, then the original rule is that what is in the office remains in the office, and what is in the home belongs to the home. What is in his home is from his wealth, and what is in the office is from the office. Yes.
