In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

The answer to your question is as follows:

Bribery is forbidden in Sharia. If you are qualified for this job and carry out your assigned duties well, then your pay is halal. And if you are not able to discharge the obligation, but you were selected on the basis of bribe, then the income will not be halal. There will also be the sin of depriving others of their rights.

ووجه آخر من الرشوة وهو الذي يرشو السلطان لدفع ظلمه عنه فهذه الرشوة محرمة على آخذها غير محظورة على معطيها وروي عن جابر بن زيد والشعبي قالا لا بأس بأن يصانع الرجل عن نفسه وماله إذا خاف الظلم وعن عطاء وإبراهيم مثله.

وروى هشام عن الحسن قال لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الراشي والمرتشي.

قال الحسن: ليحقّ باطلًا أو يبطل حقًّا فأما أن تدفع عن مالك فلا بأس، و قال يونس عن الحسن: لا بأس أن يعطي الرجل من ماله ما يصون به عرضه. و روى عثمان بن الأسود عن مجاهد قال: اجعل مالك جنة دون دينك ولاتجعل دينك جنة دون مالك. وروى سفيان عن عمرو عن أبي الشعثاء قال: لم نجد زمن زياد شيئًا أنفع لنا من الرشا، فهذا الذي رخص فيه السلف إنما هو في دفع الظلم عن نفسه بما يدفعه إلى من يريد ظلمه أو انتهاك عرضه."(احکام القرآن للجصاص، سورۃ المائدۃ آیت نمبر 44)
