Is it permissible to falsify laundry receipts in order to obtain financial compensation from the company?
It is forbidden to forge invoices and defraud a company to obtain money unjustly, unless the company consents to it after being informed of the truth. If the company stipulates that clothes must be washed by a laundry service, and this condition is not met, then it is not permissible to lie to wrongfully take its money, based on the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever deceives us is not of us," and his saying: "Whoever cheats is not from me," and his saying: "Whoever deceives us is not of us; deceit and treachery are in the Hellfire." This encompasses all deception, cheating, and trickery that leads to wrongfully consuming the property of others.
