What is the ruling on continuing studies while feeling a pang of conscience due to the assistance the student received from a relative to enter a certain department, knowing that his relative took money for it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The seeker's effort to transfer by offering an intermediary or other means is forbidden if he has no right to transfer, or if his transfer would oppress someone more deserving than him. And giving a gift to an employee is forbidden because accepting it is a means to injustice and fulfilling needs unjustly. The seeker must repent and seek forgiveness, and advise his relative. There is no harm for him in continuing his studies.
