Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A doctor says he wants to work in a land of disbelief for a week in the year with the intention of seeking to expand his provision. He says, knowing that the country he is going to requires a condition in the person he contracts with that this doctor does not possess, but the employer has accepted this. Is it permissible for him to go and do this work?
The Shaykh:
The employer required a condition.
The questioner:
That the country requires a condition in the person he contracts with that the doctor does not possess, but the employer has accepted this?
The Shaykh:
If what is required of this person is accountability from the state’s side, if he violates the system, if a penalty results from it, there is no harm. Transactions are based on permissibility.
