Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify this transaction and whether it is permissible in the Shari'ah. A man has commercial shops, such as a gas station, a sawmill, a car wash, and a grocery store. He leases these shops to his sponsored workers for an annual amount of sixty thousand. Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is the case with stations, and even with commercial shops. This contradicts the regulations. The regulation is that workers are employed on a salary or wage, and they are not given the authority to manage, sell, or buy for themselves. This contradicts the regulations. This is permissible.
