Buying a cheaper ticket and showing the company a higher price

· 16 Jumada II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I'm going to my home country on vacation from Saudi Arabia and my company is giving me an air ticket of 2090 Saudi Riyals. I told them that I will buy it myself.

If I buy a cheap ticket in a less privileged airline and show them an invoice of a privileged airline, the same that the company was supposed to buy for me. Kindly tell me if it is okay or the surplus money will be haraam.

Answer

It is better that you discuss this with the company itself.

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