The Permissibility of Accepting a Gift from One Who Does Good
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a case where two people disagree over property and appoint a third party to arbitrate between them, if the third party takes something from this property with our consent, is it permissible for him to do so, or is it forbidden?
Answer:
If two people appoint a third party to arbitrate between them regarding property, and he takes something from it with their permission and consent, I am not aware of any harm in that, and it is not called usurpation, but rather it is a gift from them to him. However, if they stipulate that he should not judge between them except for a fee, then there is consideration and detail regarding its permissibility.
