Is the salary received by a Gazan employee from the Authority lawful or unlawful, knowing that he does not actively work and the salary is considered a bonus?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to receive a salary without working, as this is considered a betrayal on the part of both the payer and the recipient. It is forbidden to take public money without a just right, just as favoritism is forbidden in it. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Many a person who wrongfully disposes of the wealth of Allah and the wealth of His Messenger will have the Fire on the Day of Resurrection."
