The ruling on bribery for one who cannot obtain his right except through it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on bribery if my known right or my estimated compensation will not be realized except through it?
Answer:
Bribery is not permissible; because this means assisting in falsehood, assisting in the loss of rights, and oppressing people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 18:590, and in another narration: The intermediary between them is also [forbidden], so cooperation in falsehood and sin is not permissible. Rather, seek your right through the lawful path, and if someone stands in your way, report his case and expose his negligence, and do not assist him in the sins of Allah through bribery.
