Q 2: Is it permissible for me
to accept gifts from employees who work with me in the same association? When one of them travels to his home country, he brings me a gift.
If it is impermissible, should I return it? It should be noted that I have limited authority in the association, as there are more superior positions (the chairman, deputy chairman, and the board of directors), but I am the direct boss of these employees. Please advise. May Allah preserve and bless you.
A:
If the case is as mentioned, it is impermissible for you to accept their gifts, as this would be considered bribery.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
