Is it permissible to show favoritism to Muslims when evaluating them after interviews or when offering them advice before they are presented to the interview panel, or must the evaluation be fair and just to all?

If employment is in a private company, the interest of the company must be considered, and favoritism avoided, as this is a requirement of trustworthiness. However, if employment is in public entities, a Muslim is to be prioritized, unless their lack of qualifications would harm the public interest. When it is necessary to appoint a non-Muslim to a management position, a Muslim must be above them so that the non-Muslim remains subordinate and not in control.
