The ruling on a guarantor taking a monthly sum from workers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is done in the establishments now? That is, a person employs workers in his establishment and they give the guarantor a sum every month, for example seven hundred riyals. Is this permissible?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible; because this contradicts the permission of the one in authority. The one in authority only permitted workers to those who have jobs to employ them in, giving them their salary. As for him deviating from the system and trading, this is called trading in persons or trading in the human being, because you exploit him with work and take from him, and he is forced to submit to this against his will, because you exploit him, and if he does not obey, there is coercion in this and exploitation of people’s earnings and their sweat, and it is a violation of the system of the one in authority, and this is not permissible. Yes.
