Earning money through deceiving people

Q: My husband works for a private company. They give fuel tanks for rent to foreigners. When the fuel in the foreigner's tanks gets dirty and it is of no use to them, the driver takes that fuel and sells it outside the bazaar. This driver is introduced to customers by my husband and my husband does a deal with him to split the profits. Is this money halal for us or not? 

A: If he is deceiving the company and taking more money without them knowing then it not permissible for your husband to take that money.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
