The Punishment of the One Who Offers a Bribe and the One Who Accepts It

Question:
What is the punishment for the one who offers a bribe and the one who accepts it?

Answer:
The one who offers a bribe and the one who accepts it have committed a great major sin. In the authentic hadith, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
A bribe is offering money to someone to do for you what contradicts the Shari'ah ruling, what undermines trust. The one who accepts the bribe is the one who does what Allah has forbidden him to do for the sake of the bribe, such as giving you what is not your right, or giving you priority over someone who is more deserving than you for the sake of the bribe, or stating that you are diligent in your work when you are not diligent, for the sake of the bribe, and the like. So the money offered in contradiction of the truth: the one who takes it is a wrongdoer, and the one who offers it is likewise. They are considered to be cooperating in sin and aggression. We ask Allah for safety.

The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
