What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on two brothers earning money through bribery, and how should one deal with their money and their relationships?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Bribery is one of the major sins. The ruling concerning your brothers' income depends on the nature of their work: if it is permissible, then the income is permissible; if it is forbidden, then the income is forbidden. Bribery has no bearing on the permissibility or impermissibility of their salary, provided they are performing their assigned work to the fullest extent.
