Question

Can interested monies be given to an employee as a gift?

Answer

It cannot be given as a gift. If he is eligible and in need then it can be given to him, but not at all as a token of appreciation for his service.

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

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
