The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : I have a piece of land for which I have not issued a title deed, so one of the people said to me: Give me a sum of money so that I can issue a title deed for it. Is it permissible for me to pay him this money?
The Shaykh : Yes, if it is a customary fee, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is excessive, that means the man will bribe the court officials, such as the clerk or others, to achieve his objective. It is not permissible for him to do this. Yes.
