If the CEO is not requesting an official advance payment but instead demands a personal payment to prioritize you, this means he is asking for something he is not entitled to (which constitutes bribery). Both giving and receiving bribes are not permissible in our religion. Therefore, we strongly advise against it.All business activities should be conducted within the framework of the law and must not involve anything that contradicts our religious principles. Ultimately, wealth and property remain in this world; if one violates the rights of others while pursuing material gain, it may lead to serious consequences in the Hereafter.
In conclusion, we recommend pursuing the acquisition only through legal means.
