What is the ruling on one who facilitates a governmental transaction that is unlawful in exchange for working as an agent for someone and receiving a salary for that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to facilitate transactions that violate regulations established for the public interest. The prohibition becomes even more severe if the employee is in a government agency facilitating a transaction that violates regulations in exchange for working for the transaction's owner, due to the betrayal of trust, acceptance of bribes, and violation of regulations involved.
