Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a transaction cannot be completed except by paying a bribe, and some employees have explicitly stated this, saying, “If you do not pay a sum of money, your work will not be done and your transaction will be delayed.”
Answer:
This is what you should complain about; do not pay it. Complain about it to the authorities, and the authorities are currently taking the initiative to punish those who take bribes. Complain to the authorities, and they will suffice you in dealing with them.
