What is the ruling on officials or employees taking things designated for work (such as disinfectant, gloves, or pens) for their personal use outside the scope of work, and what is the ruling on my doing so as well?

One must adhere to the work regulations in expending the budget, regardless of the employee's location or financial situation. This is an agency and a trust that must be preserved. Purchasing personal necessities unrelated to work from the department's budget is a transgression and a squandering of trust. It is impermissible to do so, and one must repent from it.
