Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, our Shaykh. Also, from Hail, the brother Musa, please. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. I mean. Shaykh, I have a question. What is the ruling on employing maids and renting them out on a daily basis, or selling them at double the price?
Answer:
My brother, the use of laborers is subject to a system that must be followed and not deviated from. It is not permissible to go against the system. If the person bringing them in, whether a man or a woman, needs them to do work for him, there is no harm in that. However, if he brings in workers when he has no need for them, but only to rent them out to people, the system prevents this, and the Shari'ah prevents it, and it is not permissible. Yes.
