Is it permissible to sell unused company equipment and use the money for personal use?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am working in a company & this company has some equipments in spare which will never be used & can be scrapped. My Manager has asked me to get them scrap & he doesn’t expect any money out of it. Wheras i know that these equipments can be sold in the market & can get some money out of it. Please advise, if i make an arrangement with a company to collect all these equipments from my company & send it to my home or sell it in the market & then pay me that money & i can use that money for my day to day purpose. Will this money be considered as “Halal”

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 176/117/D=1432)

If the company manager (or the owner) allows you to take those goods directly or through any other company that will deliver the goods at your home, in this case it shall be lawful for you to use that goods (spare) or sell it and use its price.

Allah knows Best!
