Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am an employee in one of the departments, and sometimes a letter comes to me from some of the authorities in the capacity of intercession for a certain person to be admitted to work. He says: A letter comes to me from some of the authorities interceding for the admission of a person into work. Is it permissible for me to execute that request?
Answer:
The authority is the one who admits and employs; this is among his powers. How does he ask you?! It is among the authority’s powers to appoint and dismiss. If he orders you to do this, it means he is appointing him, and he is the authority.
