Accepting the aforementioned offer is impermissible due to the likelihood of deceit and forgery, which are forbidden in Islamic law. Furthermore, the deceit will be carried out by bribing the employee, and paying bribes is forbidden. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who gives and the one who takes a bribe.
