Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I agreed with a worker to make repairs in my house. I agreed with a worker to make repairs in my house, and after he started the work, it became clear to me that he is a Nusayri Alawi. Should I cut off the transaction with him and replace him with someone else, or is it permissible for me to let him finish his work?
Answer:
You made a contract with him, and this is electrical work. You did not bring him in for worship, or entrust him with Hajj, or entrust him with worship. You brought him in for a permissible work. It is not permissible for you to break the contract. He completes the contract that was made between you and him. Yes.
