The ruling on seeking to reinstate an employee in exchange for money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person lost his job, so another person said to him, “I will ask them to reinstate you in your job in exchange for covering the cost of the tools.” What is the ruling on that? The questioner adds that he has no connection to the department itself, and that he has experience in auditing.
Answer:
No, if he has no connection, it does not affect the department. However, if he has a connection and they agree with him, he becomes a broker who takes a bribe, and they pay him. This is their current practice, or the practice of many of them. This is clear from this transaction. Yes, if he has no connection and it does not affect them, and they did not accept it from him, then it is fine.
