Picking up discarded goods
Question
I am a security officer in a company. My company throws the items in a skip one month before the expiry date. Can I take some items from the skip without the permission of my supervisor?
Answer
If everybody is allowed to take it,then it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
