Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to pay a sum of money so that I can be employed, given that the situation in my country does not proceed except in this way?
Answer:
Answer: No, this is a bribe. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who gives the bribe and the one who takes it. It is illicit gain and is not permissible. As for sustenance, the doors of sustenance are open. Seek sustenance, and (And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out, and will provide for him from where he does not expect). Sustenance is not limited to a job specifically.
