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?
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.
