Q: I'm a government empoloyee and I get a salary per month. In our country there is a common trend of people who come to government offices for their needs to give some extra amount to employees working in various departments even if it is not compulsary to give that amount because they are afraid that work will not be done on time.
1. Can I take that amount if somebody is giving me in a similar fashion because of the trend? I never forced them to give that amount.
2. Can I take an extra amount if my officer gives to me but he received it from other people? (Officer takes amount somewhat forcefully from people)
A:
1. Yes.
2. No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
