Q: A person has a phone for work purposes. The phone is old and the battery no longer lasts the full day. If he goes somewhere for work purposes and forgets the phone there because it's flat and he is forced to use his own phone. Is he liable to go and pick up the company phone with his own money or will he be allowed to use the company vehicle to go and get the phone?
A: Since this was due to his negligence, he should use his own money to go and collect the phone. However, if the owners of the company allow him to use the company vehicle for his personal needs, then in this case, it will be permissible for him to use the company vehicle and he will not need to use his own money for this purpose.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
