Question:
I would like you to explain the topic of bribery in detail and at length. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Bribery is the money paid to an official among the officials of the Muslims, such as a judge, an employee, or others. What is paid to the employee appointed by the authority for the interests of the Muslims and the completion of their transactions, in exchange for his work by the petitioners, is considered bribery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 18:590 We have defined bribery as the money paid to the employee or official to complete the work of the petitioners, which he is tasked with completing. It is obligatory for him to complete it without taking anything from the petitioners or from the people. Bribery is forbidden and corrupt, and it is among the major sins. It corrupts the employees and corrupts society, and it obstructs rights. It entails great harms for society itself.
