Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The municipal workers who sweep and clean the streets, is it permissible for me to give the worker who works on our street a sum of money regularly? No problem. The municipal workers who sweep and clean the streets, is it permissible for me to give the worker who works on our street a sum of money regularly as charity, so that he pays more attention to cleaning what is in front of my house, or is this of the forbidden bribe?
Answer:
You are the ones who ruined them with this, so that they do not sweep the people’s streets, nor do their work, except that one gives them [money]. This is absolutely not permissible, and this is not of the correct charity. This is of the bribe.
