Question #1725:
Some companies and other quarters, be they national or international give gifts to agents or middlemen when concluding commercial deals of any sort. Since this may make the recipient lean toward favouring the donor, is it permissible to accept and have ownership of such presents?
Answer #1725:
It is not permissible for the agent or the middleman in a sale, purchase, or a contract to accept any presents from the other party of the deal.
