Ruling on workers eating from the goods in the company

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I work in a food company, and I see some of the workers eating and drinking from the goods in the company. Should I rebuke them? Or not? And is what they are doing considered among the forbidden things?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for them to eat from it or drink from it unless they have the permission of the person in charge, if the goods are beverages for sale, fruits for sale, or other foods. They have no right to take from them without permission, without the permission of the person in charge of this company or this grocery store. They must not proceed to eat from it, because this harms the stock, and they may eat a lot, and there may be many of them.
So the conclusion is: the permission of the person in charge is necessary, the permission of the person in charge of this grocery store or this company is necessary. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
