Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a person has a right and cannot obtain it except by paying a bribe, is that permissible for him?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to do so, and a bribe is not permissible under any circumstances. If it becomes difficult for him to obtain his right, he should file a complaint so that they will be just with him, and he must never pay a bribe. Yes.
