Accepting gifts from people when working in a government department
Question
I am working in a government office. Many people come here for their various purposes. When their purpose is solved/served, they pay some money to eat something willingly. I am not asking him anything, whatever they pay, is it permissible for me to take this kind of money?
Answer
Precaution requires that you do not accept anything.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
