As Salaamu Alaikoum,
First of all no we do not have any lectures in Arabic. We are an Islamic website of learning and Dawaa and most of the people who join here do not speak arabic. In fact only a few do, so all classes are held in English.
Allah says in the Quran the interpretation of the meaning,
“And eat up not one another’s property unjustly (in any illegal way, e.g. stealing, robbing, deceiving), nor give bribery to the rulers…” [al-Baqarah 2:188].
In regards to bribery...there are 2 different types:
1) Bribes taken from those that had been wronged who had to offer bribes as a means of obtaining what was their right. If a person wants to repent from this type of bribery, the person should return the articles or whatever. For what he took from them is considered as having been taken by force or through deceit.
2) Bribes taken from an unjust (zalim) man (That is, someone who achieved or attained things via bribes which were not his right.) If a person wants to repent from this type of bribery, then the repentant should spend it in a charitable way, such as on the poor and the destitute. Likewise, he must repent the harm he caused to people by giving their right away to others who had no right to them, but rather obtained them via the use of bribes.
The Punishment for bribery is hell for the person who does not repent.
AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
