Paying money to a supervisor to appoint someone to work on one's behalf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for me to pay money to my supervisor at work so that I can appoint a person to perform the work on my behalf?
Answer:
No. Either you perform the work, or you leave it. However, if you have an excuse, such as illness or an official excuse, they will excuse you; they will give you a sick leave or leave for an excuse. That is the system. But if you say, "I will take the job and hire someone to take my place for a portion of the salary, and I will take the rest," that is not permissible. Yes.
