Ask Qul - QA

Question : #1119

Subject:	Giving bribes for jaiz work
Question:	Salamun Alaikum. Please clarify, as per Aqa Sistani, if one is allowed to give bribes to government officials who do not cooperating in doing our jaiz work in case we do not pay bribes to them. An example would be a supplier who has to over invoice his bills (if the value of goods is 100, he is raising bills for 120, keeping 100 and giving 20 to the government official) in order to accommodate the bribe to an official in a government department. Please help at the earliest, since this is urgent.
