The ruling on sponsoring workers on an individual’s guarantee and employing them elsewhere
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man sponsors workers on his guarantee and lets them work for themselves, and at the end of every month or every year he takes a fixed amount from them. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is prohibited by the Shari'ah and by the system. A decision was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars some time ago that this is not permissible. You sponsored them to work for you with salaries. If you have no work for them, do not sponsor them, and do not leave them to work for people while you take their labor. You give them some of it. This is not permissible. Yes.
