Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I have a worker in my shop who steals the goods,
The Shaykh:

The questioner:
steals the goods, and news reached me from one of the trustworthy people. His question is: Is it permissible for me to install a camera without his knowledge so that I have proof for his dismissal from the job?
The Shaykh:
If you are done with the work and are not at ease with him, let him go. He does not need a camera or anything, as long as you are suspicious of him and fear, let him go. May Allah provide for you with someone else. Yes.
