One of my cousins has paid bribe to join a school as a teacher, in the name of donation, if he would not have paid the bribe, someone else would have been appointed for that position. I want to ask that, is his income now halal or haram. All the people in the school Trust are Muslim and school is Urdu medium. Please suggest.

If he is doing his assigned jobs properly then his income shall not be termed as haram. His income shall be halal.
