Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who pays what is called a bribe to obtain the deed for his land or house, knowing that I pay it under compulsion in order to obtain my deed?

Answer:
This is bribery
May Allah curse the one who offers a bribe, the one who accepts a bribe, and the one who acts as an intermediary in itلعن الله الراشي والمرتشي والرائش
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 30:66
. The briber is the one who pays the bribe, the one who accepts the bribe is the recipient, and the intermediary is the one who acts between them. All of them are accursed. Bribery is forbidden and illicit gain. It is obligatory for the employee to perform the work without taking a bribe. If he sells the work, this sale is forbidden and not permissible. He is given a salary. Allah has made the salary lawful for him. As for taking a bribe, this is illicit gain, forbidden, and the one who takes it, the one who pays it, and the one who acts as an intermediary in it are all accursed. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
