What is the ruling on the amount we add to the price requested by the visa holder in exchange for mediating the recruitment of laborers, knowing that the government issues visas for the recruitment of laborers and not for their sale?

Selling visas is not permissible because it violates state regulations and because it involves taking payment for sponsorship, which is a contract of donation and benevolence. It is not permissible to assist the visa holder in selling it, as this falls under cooperation in sin and aggression. What is obligatory is to advise the visa holder to abandon this forbidden act.
