What is the ruling on using school supplies for personal purposes?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Using work tools for personal purposes falls into two categories: Either the use does not consume the tools and does not increase their cost (such as engineering tools, a computer, or an unlimited internet subscription), and this is permissible if it is done in the usual and non-harmful way. Or the use consumes the tools (such as paper and ink), and this is not permissible for the employee.
