Is it permissible to distribute the money generated from a one-time sale of alcohol in the company's restaurant to the simple employees?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Money earned from selling alcohol is unlawful and an impure earning. It is not permissible for employees to accept it as a gift from the company if they know its source.
It is permissible for a poor person to take from this money because it must be disposed of by spending it on general Muslim welfare, or by giving it as charity to the poor. It then becomes lawful and pure for the poor person.
