The Bad Effects of Bribery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says: In his second question, what are the resulting and bad effects of bribery?
Answer:
The curse of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is upon the one who gives the bribe, the one who takes it, and the one who acts as an intermediary between them. The curse is being driven away and kept distant from the mercy of Allah, and this is a severe punishment. Also, it is illicit earnings that are consumed as illicit and forbidden, and one sustains oneself with it, and it is forbidden. Consuming what is forbidden prevents the acceptance of supplication, and every body part that grows from illicit earnings is more deserving of the Fire, as stated in the hadith. Yes.
