The question

Would I be sinful or subject to suspicion regarding my salary, or be considered an accomplice in squandering public funds, given that my job is limited to closing accounts based on data provided to me from the workflow, recording them in ledgers, and preparing monthly revenue statements, while another employee determines the areas and prices, which may include favors and discounts for some farmers?

The answer

It is not permissible for an employee to show favoritism to a farmer or anyone else, nor to be partial towards them, because that is deception, treachery, and an unlawful consumption of state funds. It is also a form of cooperation in sin. He must not approve transactions that involve deception; rather, he must explain to the employee their mistake. Otherwise, he must inform the officials. The salary is lawful if the work itself is permissible.
