Is it permissible for bakery owners to sell a portion of their daily subsidized flour quotas, taking into account the high operating costs and the fixed price of bread? Is it permissible to sell the flour remaining from the production of good bread and to use its proceeds, in light of supply inspectors demanding bribes? If it is not permissible to use the proceeds from the sold flour, is it permissible to use this money to cover the costs of lawsuits, fines, taxes, gas, and legal fees?

If the state subsidizes flour for bakeries to produce cheap bread for citizens, the bakery owner is not permitted to sell some of this flour on the black market.

This is for two reasons: 1. If the quantity of flour is specified by the state, and the bread baked would exceed the people's need, then this is fundamentally corruption and a prohibition against extravagance. 2. If the quantity of flour is not specified, the bakery owner is not permitted to take more than what he bakes, because the state subsidizes flour for the benefit of the people. Selling subsidized flour is considered detrimental to public interest and unjustly consuming people's wealth. It is not permissible to use the money generated from such sales for legal cases, fines, or taxes; rather, any amount exceeding the capital must be spent on public welfare.
