The agreement between a contracting company and the individuals executing or funding a project is valid if it is free from শরীয়াহ-prohibited elements. If the company obtained government tenders through bribery, the sin is on the company, not on the individuals contracting with it. Individuals are only required to ensure their dealings with the company adhere to শরীয়াহ principles.
