The giver and receiver of a bribe are both cursed. Paying a bribe is a grave sin that necessitates repentance. The ' of one who paid a bribe is valid, but its reward may be nullified if the bribe constituted the expenses of the 'Umrah. This is because a righteous Hajj and 'Umrah require good and lawful expenses. If a person has accepted a bribe, they must return it to its owner.
