What is the ruling on issuing a sales invoice for a specific price, while listing other items not purchased for the same price, because it is a governmental trust that must be fulfilled, such as buying a calculator and listing pens instead of it in the invoice?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"A sales invoice is a document that records the purchased item and its price. It is not permissible to record anything other than the reality in it, as that involves lying, deception, and consuming wealth unjustly. So, whoever bought a calculator must record it as such, and it is not permissible to write 'pens' instead. Recording an inflated price, or a fictitious item, or an item not purchased, all fall under reprehensible acts that must be combated due to the corruption of integrity, ruin of businesses, and loss of wealth they cause. The employee is entrusted with what is under his hand, and he is not held accountable for any damage unless it is due to negligence or aggression."
