Is it permissible for an employee in the purchasing department of a public administration to compete with an established company that supplies water to a neighboring administration at a lower price, and is the money resulting from this competition lawful? Is it permissible to take cash from the public administration under the pretext of supplying more water than was actually supplied, or under the pretext of building maintenance and administrative costs?
It is not permissible to sell to a company that a foundation has already agreed to sell to or set a price with, because that would be like selling over another's sale, which is prohibited. However, if no agreement has been reached, you may sell to the company, provided it is not prohibited by the company you work for. It is not permissible to lie or cheat in documents to benefit from excess money. Request the money from the officials clearly and honestly.
