Taking money for transactions and giving to employees

The questioner:
And regarding the glorification of Allah, I do not know about taking a fee for following up on transactions, because the man knows the two parties, so these people give them something like a newsletter or the like.

The Shaykh:
So it is not permissible if it is agreed with the employees that he gives them some money; that is a bribe, so it is not permissible. But if it is merely a contract and he does not give the employees anything, but rather he takes [money] in return for his work and effort, and he has no connection with the employees, and there is no agreement with the employees that he gives them [anything], then there is no harm in that, because this is in return for his effort. This is not from the bribe. The bribe is what is given to the employee, whether through the owner of the transaction or through an intermediary, who is the follow-up agent. That is the bribe. Yes.

The questioner:
And other than the partners, may Allah have mercy on him.

The Shaykh:
Because he mentions that some employees agree with the follow-up agents, saying, "We will handle your transactions, and you go back to them and take money from them to be divided." This is a reality and is mentioned by some who have no integrity. Yes. They sell official jobs, selling them to people, and they have brokers in the markets whom they call follow-up agents, and they are a company of bribery, and I seek refuge in Allah. This is not permissible. Yes.
