The Ruling on Bribery
Some parents believe that there is no benefit in their children studying in formal schools, and if they want to transfer them to religious schools, they need to pay a bribe to obtain certificates indicating that they have completed formal education. What is the ruling on that?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This issue should be addressed by the scholars of your country; because they are more capable of understanding the intended situation. Paying a bribe to obtain your right is permissible, so whether what you are saying falls under your rights or not needs to be assessed by the scholars of your country, and God knows best.
