Is the consent of a government employee to travel and reside at the expense of a private company that sells devices to the institution where he works—while he is one of those responsible for determining the need for and purchasing these devices—considered a bribe or misappropriation, regardless of whether the manager knows or not?

Bribery is the payment of money to invalidate a right or validate a falsehood, while ghulul is taking from the spoils of war before their division, and it includes unlawfully consuming public funds. If the travel and accommodation grant for the employee is due to her job, then it is close to bribery and a cause for winning over one's heart and favoritism in work. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified that gifts to workers are impermissible, so the employee must forgo this grant.
