Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener (K. M. A.) from Sudan sent a message containing a collection of questions. In one of them, he says: I work with a merchant, and this merchant pays bribes to facilitate his business. I only manage his accounting affairs and receive a wage for that. Is this amount I take considered forbidden for me? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.
Answer:
We hope that nothing is required of you, and the sin is upon him for the bribe he pays; the sin is upon him. And you, if Allah wills, if you do not do anything but what Allah has made permissible, nothing is required of you. But advise him; advise him and encourage your brothers to advise him, because bribery is forbidden. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
