Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My deceased Shaykh, I want to move from one area to another where my family is close, and there is a man who wants to mediate for me and take a sum of money in exchange for his services and fees, since our moving does not harm anyone as he likes.
Answer:
This is not permissible, because it is possible that the amount is a bribe, and bribery is forbidden. And if it is not a bribe, it is in exchange for intercession, and nothing is taken in exchange for intercession. Nothing is taken in exchange for intercession, because it is an act of righteousness and excellence. Yes, so in any case, it is not permissible, because this is either a bribe, or in exchange for intercession. Nothing is taken in exchange for intercession, because it is an act of righteousness and excellence. Yes.
