I take copies of some people''s

Q: Some citizens and employees take people's ID cards and marriage contracts and go to Riyadh, to Al Rajhi Bank where they receive (100 SR) for each of these documents. Some of them manage to bring thousands of these identification cards in return for which they receive tens of thousands of SR which they take for themselves. Kindly give us the legal decision in this regard. May Allah help you. Is it lawful or not to advise these people? Moreover, is it permissible for people to allow others to exploit their marriage contracts and ID cards in that manner? May Allah reward you the best.

A: It is not permissible for these people to use other people's identification cards and marriage contracts if they have no right to this money. It is lying and thievery. Likewise, it is not permissible for ID card owners to give their documents and IDs to the mentioned people so as not to help them obtain ill-gains.
