Ruling on giving money to a government official to accomplish a personal interest

Question:
If a person pays money to an employee in a private or government institution, and paying this money is in the payer's interest and does not harm anyone, and it is done in front of the head of this institution, is there any issue with that?

Answer:
I heard the seminar! Paying money to heads of institutions, or to ministers, or to directors of institutions, or to their employees, if that money is for his job, to get him to process a work item, or to put you ahead of a person who deserves the job and put you before him for the sake of money, or something similar; you gave it for his job, for his work, so that he would put you ahead, or delay him, or give you something from the state's money, or something similar; this is a bribe.
It is called a bribe, like the *risa* which is the well's bucket; because it brings benefit to its owner. The *risa* brings water from the well, and the bribe is like the *risa*, it brings benefit to the one who pays it from the one to whom it is paid, who betrayed the trust and accepted this bribe to give its owner something that is not his right, either a betrayal of the public treasury, or a betrayal of the trust he holds in his job, putting forward one who does not deserve it, and delaying one who deserves it because of the bribe, because of the money.
