Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another question, and its meaning is: I am an employee in the Northern Region and I want to be transferred to the Central Region. This does not happen except between two people. So, is it permissible for me to give a sum of money to one of the brothers who is being transferred to the Northern Region in my place? I am an employee in the Northern Region and I want to be transferred to the Central Region. But this does not happen unless one of the employees is transferred in my place. So, do I give him a sum of money if he accepts?

Answer:
This goes back to the authority. The authority agreed to transfer this person in place of that person, and considered the circumstances of this one and the circumstances of that one. So, the one in Riyadh was told to go to Dammam, and the one in Dammam was told to go to Riyadh, and so on in the system of the authority. This goes back to the person responsible for this work. It is not between you and him, and it is not permissible between you and him. It is necessary to consult the person in charge who has the power to bind and release.
