The Ruling on Taking a Bribe from an Election Candidate Without Voting for Him
One of the candidates wants to pay the electricity bills for some houses in exchange for being elected, and the homeowners told him to pay; however, inside they do not want to vote for him, what is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to take this money whether they voted for it or not; because it is forbidden and a bribe, and God knows best.
