Dear Ice, I thought you of all people would have no scruples at all in saying "Sorry, no"!
(I mean, you've mentioned your past experience as a stripper on several occasions here and surely you're brushing clients off all the time in that line of business )

Unless Dec 14, 2022

I am thoroughly confused, this question is about cases when I would hire a colleague to accept/share the load, for which a third party is supposed to pay me? This is how I distinguish between outsource and recommend. Am I the only one who believe that these are two different animals?

If so, my answer is No.

I did it once. I told the colleague I wasn't supposed to do it, but I knew she needed the money. The work that came back took me a lot of time to review. She was incensed by my changes (mostly omissions on her part) and went straight to my client. I lost my client because I had broken my contract.
