Ruling on accepting a gift from one who took it without the owner's permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener (A. G. M.) from Hail sent a message containing several questions. In one of them, he says: I went to some relatives of mine who work in one of the farms, and they gave me some vegetables. I believe the owner of the farm is not aware of this. Is this action permissible or not?
Answer:
It is obligatory that you do not take anything from them unless you know that the owner of the farm is pleased with it. It is obligatory for the workers not to spend anything without the permission of the farm owner. If you know that the farm owner permits spending from his farm, whether it be watermelon or otherwise, then there is no harm. Otherwise, do not take anything, and do not assist the workers in their betrayal. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
