Is This Bribery?

Question :

I work for a company that delivers refrigerated goods. I deliver fruits and vegetables to Madinah, Jeddah, Makkah, and Riyadh. When I reach my destination with the goods, the vegetables owner gives me 100-200 Riyals, in recognition of my speedy delivery. The owner of my company knows about this extra bonus or tip that I receive; in this situation, is it lawful or unlawful for me to receive that tip?

Answer:

We feel that there is nothing wrong for you to take the money the produce salesman gave you for your speedy delivery of the goods before they became rotten, and which the owner of your company knows about. So since both your employer and the vegetables owner know and approve of this tip, and considering that it is paid to encourage you to continue to do good work, there is nothing to prevent you from taking the extra money.
