Is it permissible for a company to pay a sum of money to an employee in another company after winning a tender, given that the employee is not in the department specialized in tenders, but he introduced the company to the head of the tenders department and might influence the decision?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
An employee in a company is not entitled to take commission from the one who wins a tender. What then of a person who played a suspicious role in the tender? If he caused the tender to be awarded to someone undeserving, he has committed a sin. If, in addition, he took a commission, it is a forbidden bribe.
