Is it permissible for an employee responsible for procurements to submit a bid in the name of a company he owns with his manager, then produce fake bids from other companies at higher prices, so that their bid wins the tender? Is the money resulting from this process lawful or unlawful? If the money is unlawful, what should be done with it? Is it permissible for employees of a non-profit organization to forge a fictitious purchase invoice and disburse a remaining amount from a grant designated for the needy to cover office expenses that were not spent, and then divide the amount among themselves? Is the money resulting from that lawful or unlawful? If it is unlawful, what should be done with it?

Tender contracts are permissible if they pertain to something lawful. What the questioner and his manager did by falsifying the tender is unlawful, deceptive, a betrayal of trust, and an unlawful acquisition of wealth, resulting in illicit gain. They must repent and return the excess money—that which exceeds the lowest price that could have been approved if the competition had been fair—to the organization in any way that does not harm them. If they are unable to do so, they should spend the money on work-related interests or for the organization's expenses, or donate it on behalf of its rightful owners. The excess money from grants must also be disbursed and spent on the original purposes of the grants, not on tea, coffee, or their personal trips.
