Receiving a gift for taking part in research

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I took part in a research trial where they take my blood and test it for something, they also gave me £10 for taking part, is this allowed or do I have to put the money in Sadaqa?

Bismillaah

A: If this was given as a token of appreciation then it is alright.

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