Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to pay money to obtain a government job, especially since most people do so and block the way for those who do not?

Answer:
This is a bribe. This is a bribe. Cursed is the one who pays it and cursed is the one who takes it. This is not permissible. Yes.
