The question

What is the ruling on working in an institution riddled with corruption, where service applicants are required to pay a sum of money to receive the service, and a receipt is issued for that, but in some cases, a personal identification document is received with "paid without receipt" written on it, raising suspicion about the fate of these funds?

There is no objection to working in this place unless there is evidence of its prohibition.
