Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I work as an accountant in one of the companies, and my manager orders me to pay a bribe to the project manager there to facilitate our work. His question is: Is it permissible for me to obey him in that? And is it permissible for me to continue in the company?
Answer:
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12:1998 He is the one who acts as an intermediary between them, so you enter into the curse because you have cooperated with them in sin and transgression. So do not obey him, and if he forces you, seek work with someone else. Yes.
