The ruling on giving money to obtain a job
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man who has graduated from university wants to get a job, so he gave a man money to obtain the position. Is this considered a bribe?
Answer:
If the person he gave it to is an official, if he is an official, then it is a bribe. But if he is not an official and not an employee, and he is just saying to him, "I will intercede for you," this is intercession, and it is not permissible to take money for intercession. This is intercession, and intercession is a good deed, and it is not permissible to take a fee for intercession. So in any case, this is not permissible; it is either a bribe or taking a fee for intercession, and this is not permissible.
