Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A hired driver receives a monthly salary of one thousand five hundred riyals, but the car owner imposes on him the requirement to pay one hundred fifty riyals daily to the office for six days of the week, whether he works or not. Any amount above the one hundred fifty belongs to the driver. The question is: Is it permissible for the office to impose on the driver the payment of this specific amount daily?
Answer:
This is not permissible for him. This driver is hired for a salary, so he performs the work and receives the wage, and the contract is not changed to other things, nor is a specific amount imposed on the driver that he may or may not receive. A specific amount is imposed on him, yes.
