Paying money to fix a family sponsorship visa

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give a man a sum of money to fix a family sponsorship visa for my family, given that my profession is a private driver and, according to the Kingdom's regulations, I am not allowed to obtain a family sponsorship visa? Is it permissible for me to give him money to get it issued?

The Shaykh:
First, violating the regulations is not permissible. Violating the regulations, deceiving them, or forging documents—none of this is permissible. It is obligatory to be truthful and to comply with the regulations. Repeat the question.

The questioner:
He says: Is it permissible for me to give a man a sum of money to arrange a family sponsorship visa for my family?

The Shaykh:
I say this depends on the regulations. Do not violate the regulations or deceive them in this matter, for you would expose yourself to liability.
