Begging, boycotting products and bribes : [open a PayPal account from a country that is not listed]

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Sheik I just want to ask a question which goes this way, I wanted to open a PayPal account but when I got to their site I found out my country wasn't listed among the list of countries on their site and I really need the account to, because after months of searching for how to make Halal earnings online I just found some few ways but I need a PayPal account to receive the money and I try to open one just found out my country wasn't listed among the list of countries on their site and what I intend to do is to contact a friend who live abroad to give me his own information(I. e. name, address and phone number) to open the account in my country I just want to know if this is O. K. and if it will by any way make the money Haram because I need the money to go and study Islamic knowledge and also help the Ummah with some of the money I make. Ma Salam.
