Is it permissible for an employee to take a sum designated for purchasing prescription glasses from an oil company without actually buying them, or by buying only a portion and spending the rest, knowing that the company does not specify the type of glasses and relies on a medical report issued by a doctor affiliated with the company’s clinic, regardless of the employee’s actual need for the glasses?
You must review the company's terms: If they permit disbursing funds to employees regardless of their need for eyeglasses, there is no harm in taking it and spending it as you wish. However, if they stipulate the need for medical eyeglasses for the benefit of work, then it is not permissible for you to use the money for any other purpose.
