The ruling on taking a monthly fee from recruited workers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah informs you. There are two chapters, or rather, it is not permissible to take a fee for sponsorship. So what is the ruling on those who force people to worship and take in exchange for their sponsorship the issuance of a specific residence permit, taking a certain amount each month or each year, without providing this worker with anything in terms of a job, a library, or work?
Answer:
The employment of workers has a specific system established such that no one is allowed to recruit workers unless he has work for them. If he has work to employ them in, he is permitted to do so. However, if he recruits workers while he has no work for them, and leaves them to work for people while taking a monthly or daily fee from them, this is not permissible; it is forbidden. A decision was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars some time ago stating that it is forbidden to recruit workers who have no need for him, but rather leave them to work for people and take from them. This is not permissible; it is forbidden. Yes.
