Ruling on paying money to transfer a wife to a nearby location
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My wife was employed at one of the schools outside Riyadh, then she was transferred to the city of Riyadh, but to a neighborhood far from our home, even though she had priority for an appointment near her home. His question is: Is it permissible for me to pay a sum of money to one of the officials to have her transferred to a suitable, nearby location?
Answer:
This is a bribe, and the one who gives it, the one who takes it, and the one who carries it are all cursed. It is not permissible to give a bribe. But ask for her transfer to a place near the house, and try to do so without paying anything.
