Does drinking tea from work provisions fall under the category of charity (sadaqah)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the question intends to ask whether what is offered to employees, such as tea and the like, which was not stipulated to be given to them, is considered charity from the employer, then the answer is that this is a good deed, and every good deed is charity. Charity here is not limited to tangible things; rather, it includes every act of righteousness. If it is accompanied by intention, its doer will be rewarded; otherwise, there is a possibility [of no reward].
