Nowadays, intercession is in fact compulsion .
Indirect pressure is applied .
A man will take advantage of his prominence or rank to compel another to submit to his request . This is not intercession . Such intercession is not permissible . If someone extracts service, etc. from another on the strength of his relationship with a man of prominence or rank and it becomes discernable that the service or aid is not offered freely and wholeheartedly , but has been forthcoming solely on account of the relationship which the taker of the service en joys with so rue prominent person , then acceptance of such aid or service is unlawful . As a result of the relationship , the one who supplies the aid entertains the notion that if he does not provide the requested assistance, the man of prominence will be displeased .
