Is it permissible for a person suffering from a congenital heart defect who is in need of a job to pay a sum of money to obtain a medical report that does not disclose this defect, and is this considered bribery?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What was mentioned about this person's need and poverty, and his family's refusal to spend on him, does not permit him to obtain a medical report through deception or forgery. The money paid for that is a forbidden bribe, because it is in exchange for a forbidden benefit, which is forgery. Forgery includes cheating in documents and imitating handwriting and signatures with the intent of deception and falsehood.
