Use interest money to pay bribes, bank charges, taxes : paying bribes from interest money

السؤال

[Question one] : Salaam, I live in the UK, originally from Bangladesh. May I use interest obtained from savings in UK banks to pay bribes to officials in Bangladesh to perform their task / duties (to do their job). Without bribes, it is virtually impossible to get anything done in Bangladesh. When they know that I am from UK, they even want more bribes. To sort out problems in my land I need to bribe they or they do not do their job. My question is whether I can pay this bribe from the interest obtained from savings. If I do not use this interest money, I will alternatively have to use my earnings to pay the bribes (I will have to pay the bribes or they will not do their job). If I do not pay bribes, they do not do their job and I lose my land etc. WasSalaam [Question two] : Further to your reply (detailed below), I have tried to follow rules and not pay bribes but the process is near impossible. My father has some land that has been grabbed by others who built a market (Bazar). My father has been fighting the issue in court for over 15 years but we are getting nowhere. The Bangladesh government is conducting survey and settlement operation. In order to get my land (any land) recorded in my name I have to pay the surveyors. If I do not pay, they record my land under the names of others. Even though I have legal documents, the surveyors say that I do not have possession of my land therefore they cannot record my land in my name. I have tried so many times to argue with these officials, I have written to their head office etc. but I am not getting anywhere. I obviously do not want to pay someone for land already bought, but I am at a loss. No one listens to my problem. What do I do ? Can you sort it out ? Can you go to my country and speak to the officials and sort it out ? WasSalaam
