What is the ruling on breaking the agreement between the employee and the employer by exploiting his need, knowing that he will accept his demands?

The questioner : The second question asks: What is the ruling on breaking the agreement between the employee and the employer by exploiting his need, knowing that he will yield to his demands? It happened that we agreed with this guarantor that he would give us a monthly salary and bear the costs of food and drink. After a period of time, he went back on his word and said, "You bear the costs of your own food and drink. If you are satisfied, fine; otherwise, return to your country." Under the pressure of need and necessity, we agreed to this. Is it permissible for him to do this after he had agreed to our condition, and we are in our country?

The Shaykh : If I did not fear that this action or this bad transaction exists with someone other than your guarantor, I would not have answered it. But I say that this action is forbidden and is not befitting of believers, because Allah the Exalted says: , and He says, Glorified and Exalted is He: . If the agreement between you and this man was that he would do what you obligated him to do, and then he exploits the opportunity to refuse to fulfill it, saying either you stay and the expenses are on you, or you return to your country, then there is no doubt that this, may Allah protect us from it, is a forbidden action and deception that is not befitting of a believer. My advice to him is to fear Allah the Exalted and be mindful of Him, and to know that oppression is darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and that you will be attached to him on the Day of Resurrection demanding your right: . And he should know that the money he left behind, which he saved through this forbidden way, will be a fire for him, may Allah protect us from it, and he will be punished for it on the Day of Resurrection, and its fruits will belong to the heirs who come after him. I affirm to him, as long as he is in the time of the grace period and the time of life, to be mindful of Allah Mighty and Majestic, and to return to you what you agreed with him upon, and to seek your release from what he did to you of this delay and this deception. We ask Allah for a good ending and a good outcome for us and for him.
