Summary
Giving and receiving tips is originally permissible because it resembles charity. However, an employee of a company with a no-tipping policy may not keep tips offered by customers. The employee must abide by the employer's conditions and the signed contract, since the policy involves nothing forbidden and aims to be fair to all staff.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun begitu, seseorang yang bekerja di syarikat yang mengamalkan polisi no tipping tidak boleh mengambil tip yang diberikan dan perlu mematuhi syarat yang telah ditetapkan majikan untuk keadilan bersama.
