The ruling on taking the salary of the imam or the attendant while delegating the work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The heir goes up to the mosque on behalf of the endowments, but he does not perform the service of the mosque. So, if the one who delegates does not stand up to a man in exchange for a source of money that his sons pay him, is this permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible. If he does not perform the work of the mosque, it is not permissible for him to take his salary. It is not sufficient for him to delegate someone to do it and take the rest of the salary. If he delegates someone to do it, he should give him the entire salary, because he performed the work and earned it. What does he earn from the remainder? Why does he earn it? He did not perform the work. This is not permissible for him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
