Is money earned from contracts for supplying electronic devices through the mediation of relatives and acquaintances of officials' children, and money earned from mediating the employment of young graduates in state departments, considered unlawful money? What is the proof, and how can one advise the perpetrator?
The money acquired from lobbying on behalf of one of the competitors in a tender for supplying a department with electronic devices, in exchange for money, is a prohibited bribe. Thus, what he took is not lawful for him. As for lobbying for the employment of graduates and taking a commission for it, if it is done in a legitimate manner, without violating the law or infringing upon the rights of others, then it falls under the category of interceding for the benefit of others. Scholars have differed regarding taking a fee for such intercession, with opinions ranging from prohibition to dislike to permissibility if the person interceding needs expenses or incurs hardship, and this last opinion is the most preponderant.
