Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: If I intercede for a person to get a job, and the intercession is accepted and he is given preference over others for this position, is this a good intercession?
Answer:
If you asked that he be given preference over others, this is a bad intercession. If you asked that he be given preference over other deserving candidates, this is a bad intercession; this is injustice. But if you did not ask for that, and you said, "Employ him, and do not cause him harm," then there is nothing wrong with that. Yes, in general, yes.
