Bribery is a form of corruption, and the corruption of debts that societies suffer from, ancient and modern. When conscience is absent and religious motivation fades, many immoral phenomena
and behaviors spread in societies, including bribery, which leads to the corruption of nations and is a dangerous disease from which many societies have suffered.
If bribery spreads in society, it leads to the spread of financial corruption in it. People should not hesitate to pay money in order to achieve interests that should not be theirs and to which they have no legitimate right. This is forbidden in Islam and all laws, which leads to envy, deception and hatred in society and leads to disintegration. In societies, injustice spreads, justice and equality are prevented among people, and then rights are given to those who do not deserve, which leads to the spread of corruption and the collapse of the societal system. This phenomenon appeared in Islamic society throughout the emergence of the state, and its spread increased. When the religious motive fades, societal problems and immoral behaviors begin to appear, which lead to the corruption of nations. Its dissolution and the disintegration of society.
