What is the ruling on taking the price difference from a sale and directing it to pay off customer debts or cover worker losses without the employer's knowledge and consent?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The employee is entrusted with the company's funds and must dispose of them according to the owner's specifications. It is not permissible for the employee to dispose of company funds in ways the owner disapproves of, even if motivated by compassion for the workers; otherwise, the employee becomes liable for these amounts. Covering debts unpaid by customers with company funds is a clear betrayal.
