The answer

Bribery is the means by which falsehood is established or truth is abolished. It falls under the threat of being cursed, and its perpetrator is required to repent and not return to such a sin. A gift intended to affiliate with a false party is considered bribery. However, a gift intended to honor a person out of love, friendship, or to request a permissible need is commendable.
