What is the ruling on a farmer taking a portion of a contractor's money in exchange for giving him the project, the costs of which the state undertakes to pay, in order to settle the farmer's debt owed to the state?

It is permissible for the farmer to receive a percentage of the project's profits by becoming a partner with the contractor, and by performing some tasks such as guarding the site or managing workers. However, taking money in exchange for allowing the contractor to conclude the contract with the state is not permissible, because there is no effort exerted by the farmer, and also because it raises suspicion of leniency in completing the work.
