Is it permissible to issue fictitious invoices to cover the treasury deficit that I am forced to bear against my will?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The treasurer is entrusted with what is under his hand. Therefore, he is not obliged to compensate for any deficit if it was not due to his transgression or negligence. The employer is not entitled to compel him to do so, because the trustee is not liable for what is damaged in his possession except in cases of transgression or negligence. Among the acts of negligence is accepting work that one is not good at. You must insist on being relieved of this responsibility, or that the company bears the deficit. It is not permissible to issue fictitious invoices because that is a lie and forgery.
