Is it permissible to take the currency exchange rate difference when disbursing it to citizens, given that the government does not pay for overtime hours?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The agent is not permitted to take the price difference for himself, because he is disposing of the government entity's money entrusted to him without its permission. The fact that the entity does not give him additional work does not make it permissible for him to transgress against the money he has been entrusted with.
