Is Bribery A Grave Sin (for Both Receiver And The Payee)
The one who receives money to do a wrong thing is sinful and the one who asks him to do a thing that is not his right is sinful by offering him money. If the information he is asking for is not his right to know, both giver and taker are sinful. If the information he seeks is his right to know, but he cannot get it without offering bribery then only the receiver is sinful.
