The answer

If the official selects employees for overtime work, it is not permissible for him to take a portion of their wages in return; for gifts to workers are ghulūl (ill-gotten gains). And if what he takes is a bribe, it is not permissible to pay it to him unless you have a right that you cannot obtain except by giving it; for Allah has cursed the one who gives and the one who takes a bribe.
