Taking home things provided by hotels during one's stay
Question
Will it be permissible to take home the coffee, sugar, toothbrush etc. that the hotels provide for you to use?
Answer
If these things are given to those staying in the hotel for them to keep, then it becomes theirs. They may do with it as they please.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
