Is it permissible for a teacher infected with the Hepatitis C virus to pay money to obtain the medical examination certificate required for government appointment, and would the salary earned from this appointment be lawful, knowing that the virus does not affect his performance and that this procedure was not previously in effect?

This person's action of offering a bribe to obtain a medical examination certificate is not permissible, as it involves lying and deception. The Ministry requires freedom from infectious diseases, and it is obligatory to adhere to legitimate conditions, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." The fact that these procedures were not in place previously does not justify his action. Therefore, he is not permitted to remain in this position except with the Ministry's permission. He is entitled to a fair wage for the previous period if he was teaching during it.
