Summary
Tipping a food delivery rider is permissible and counts as a form of charity or gift that earns reward for the giver. Giving a tip is the customer's own choice. Riders should avoid asking for tips, as begging is prohibited and undermines sincerity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum memberikan tips kepada penghantar makanan adalah harus dan merupakan salah satu bentuk sedekah yang akan mendatangkan pahala buat pemberi serta akan memberi kebahagiaan kepada penghantar makanan tersebut.
