Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Many contracting companies take on projects by paying bribes. What is the ruling on working with them as a technician or engineer? Knowing that I have no involvement in the matter of the bribe; I did not pay it, I am merely an employee of theirs.
Answer:
It is not enough that you do not work for them. You must, you must report them. You must report them in order to take action against them and prevent this falsehood, because this is what is wrong. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a So this is what is wrong; you must report them. Do not get close to them; it is better that you do not get close to them, for they are engaging in what is forbidden. It is better that you do not get close to them. Yes.
