Printing personal emails at work
Question
A person prints a personal email, document, etc., from his employer. There is a subtle allowance and a fair use policy in place. As a Muslim, is there anything forbidden in this practice?
Answer
Whatever is permissible to print according to the Shari’ah will be permissible, since the company has allowed the employees to use the equipment.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
