Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah · Accepted Answer

The payment of commissions and kick-backs, etc. to employees of other companies is actually another term for bribery.

When the executives or bosses of the company come to learn that their employees are collecting commissions on the side, they will take strict action. This is a clear indication that the employees are acting in bad faith against the company. Hence, such payment of commission, etc. is prohibited.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
