What is the ruling on the financial percentage that a consulting engineer takes from a supplier in exchange for guiding (the client) to him, without the knowledge of his office or the contractor, given that the materials conform to specifications and the work is completed perfectly?

It is not permissible to cooperate with the supplier in guiding him to the contractor if the questioner will be supervising his work, because taking a percentage in exchange for guiding may affect his supervision and make him lenient in noticing defects.
