The impermissibility of using intermediaries to cancel traffic violations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence! What is the ruling on using an intermediary to cancel a traffic violation?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to use an intermediary to get rid of a traffic fine or anything else, because the state established these penalties to reform society. The purpose is not to take money from a person, but to reform society. And you know now that many people are not deterred by religious conscience, but rather by authority and fear.
So it is not permissible for him to use an intermediary to cancel a traffic violation or anything else that is obligatory upon him, and it is not permissible for anyone else to intercede in that matter either.
So you should, may Allah reward you with good, advise the one you know who does this, and tell him to praise Allah for it, for this fine may be a discipline for him.
