Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I give money to a man to intercede for me in the transfer of teachers, such that my transfer is accomplished through him, by the permission of Allah, is it permissible for me to give this money?
Answer:
This is not permissible; this is a bribe. This is a bribe, because this man agrees with the employees that he will take this money and share it with them; this is an agreement between them. So they are a partnership in bribery, may Allah protect us from that. This is not permissible. The transfer is a right of the employee without him offering anything; it is his right, without him offering money. So you must review the matter with the officials by requesting the transfer, and persist until you obtain the transfer, and do not pay money. Yes.
