Ruling on Giving a Bribe to a Passport Officer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In some countries now, when a person travels, he arrives at the passport control or customs and the officer says: “You will not pass unless you give me some money.” What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to be given [money]; this is a bribe, so it should not be given, and a complaint should be filed with his superior.
