The ruling on taking a commission from house rental amounts

Question:
A man says: I am an employee in Makkah al-Mukarramah, and when the pilgrims come to me wanting to rent a house, I agree with the owner of the house to rent it to them, for example, for two thousand, and I take three hundred riyals from it. Is this a bribe?

Answer:
It is necessary that he inform them if he agrees with him; it is not permissible except that he informs them, because this is of the nature of a bribe, because he tells them that it is for two thousand when it is not for two thousand, but for one thousand and seven hundred. This is not permissible; this is a bribe. If he wants what is lawful, let him say to them: I have agreed with him that it is for two thousand, and that I have three hundred if you are willing to allow that; otherwise, he has only one thousand and seven hundred. He agreed to the three hundred for me if you allow it, or otherwise I will leave it, or something similar to that. In other words, he must make it clear to them, otherwise it is betrayal.
