The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Karachi, Pakistan.

The questioner: O Shaykh, this is a call from Pakistan, can you hear me?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: O Shaykh Nasser, I want to seek your ruling on a matter.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you, Shaykh Nasser.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Yes.
The questioner: We want to seek your ruling on a matter, O Shaykh. Here, the day before yesterday, we had an exam in the subject of gynecology and obstetrics, and I am a student in the faculty of medicine.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Can you hear me clearly?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: This professor, I mean, takes bribes. And during the exam, I did not go to him and give him what he wanted. So during the exam, he got angry at me and stood up to me, I mean, and did not give me, I mean, he did not ask me like the other students... until I told him I want from you... so he refused... some of the young men said, I mean, give him what he wants. And truly, my heart was not at ease with this matter. So I told him that... and he did not give me a chance. So how, I mean... pay this bribe? And for this reason, my heart was not at ease, O Shaykh, to do this... so what is your opinion?
The Shaykh: My opinion is that you did well by refraining from giving the bribe. You did well in refraining from giving the bribe. And you must raise the matter to the person in charge. Did you hear me?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Did you understand me?
The questioner: Yes, you say, I heard you, O Shaykh. Here, if you raise it, you cannot, because he is the one who controls and can make you sit for five more years.
The Shaykh: The important thing is that it is not permissible to give a bribe[At-Talaq 65:2-3] and peace be upon you.
The questioner : ... .

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا * وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
