Is it permissible for a contractor to pay his workers a salary higher than their regular salary?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A contractor asks, saying: He has workers, and when he has work for some reason, he is required to hire the workers for a reason higher than their salary, because each worker is paid one hundred and twenty dinars while the worker's salary is ninety dinars. Is this permissible?

Answer : If they are content with that, there is nothing wrong with it, on the condition that he is a guarantor for them, cares for them, and has an impact on their work.

The presenter : May Allah guide you, O Shaykh.
