What should I do with the money I earned for helping a student pass an exam, is it permissible to give it to my poor relatives, and is it permissible to give them Zakat from my money?

What you took in exchange for ensuring the man's son passed is a forbidden bribe, and it is a grave sin if the son did not deserve to pass. You must offer sincere repentance for it.

- If the bribe was for the success of a son who did not deserve to pass, do not return it to its owner. Instead, give it as charity to the poor and needy.

- If the bribe was for the success of a son who deserved to pass, you must return it to its owner.

- It is permissible to give money to your poor relatives if their maintenance is not obligatory upon you, and this also applies to giving them Zakat.
