Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who migrates from a land of disbelievers to Muslim lands in an unofficial manner by paying a bribe to obtain residency papers among the Muslims?
Answer:
A bribe is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who gives the bribe and the one who takes it. Try to do it without a bribe.[At-Talaq 65:2]
