A man who cannot get his sick daughter into the specialized hospital for her condition unless he pays money to one of the employees!

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man has a daughter who is suffering from an eye disease, and the company he works for gave him some cards for treatment at the hospital, the hospitals, but the hospital specialized in this disease does not have authorization to enter it and bring his daughter in. Some employees in this company asked him for money to let him enter this hospital. His question is: Is this man in a state of dire necessity such that he should pay this money to this employee to treat his daughter, and pay a nominal amount to the specialized hospital?

Answer:
If this employee is an employee of the hospital itself, then it is not permissible to pay him anything, because this is a bribe. As for if he is not an employee of this hospital, but rather he wants to intercede for you, this is also not permissible, because it is taking payment for intercession. It is not permissible to take compensation for good intercession. He should seek reward from Allah and intercede for his brother, and not take anything from him; so that his intercession is good and he is rewarded for it, and the reward with Allah is better than this world and what is in it.
