Is it permissible to pay a bribe to an employee to obtain a driver's license, knowing that one eye does not see well, and there is a possibility of obtaining the license through bribery?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the laws for obtaining a driving license require the soundness of both eyes, then it is not permissible to violate them, and paying money to violate them is considered a forbidden bribe. However, if the laws permit driving with one eye and the employee refuses in order to extort a bribe, then it is permissible to pay it in that case, and the sin will be upon him.
