Is it forbidden for an employee to make tea in the office using an electric kettle?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
An employee is entrusted with their work and tools, and it is not permissible for them to use office work tools—such as pens, electricity, and paper—for personal purposes, unless the competent authority grants permission or common practice dictates it without objection. An exception to this is whatever is not affected by use, such as a ruler.
