Cheating at work to get extra travel expenses
Question: 13710
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
This action is not permissible according to pure Islamic sharee’ah, because he is acquiring money by means of lying and deception. Acquiring money in that manner is haraam and must be denounced and warned against. May Allaah grant us sufficient provision and keep us safe from that.
