Question:
The questioner: Sister Tif from al-Hawtah, please go ahead. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Yes? I would like to ask the Shaykh, if you would be so kind: Is giving charity to workers, whether in a hospital, or municipal workers on the streets, or workers in the Haram, with the intention of charity and not with the intention of bribery, considered bribery or is it not permissible? Giving charity to workers on the streets with the intention of charity.
Answer:
The Shaykh: If the workers are Muslim and in need, there is nothing wrong with it, because this is charity given to the poor. Yes.
