Question

I'd like to know, I'm applying for my learners licence through a contact. It works like this: I give him R1500 he guarantees me that I'll pass even if I write the wrong answers. I have to write the test and pay the normal fees also, is it permissible?

Answer

Avoid all types of bribery and corruption.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
