Appointing someone else to give the adhan in exchange for money, while taking a reward

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was the mu'adhdhin in a mosque and I received a salary from the endowments, but I did not call the adhan there. I left another person to call the adhan and I give him a sum of money every month.

Answer:
This is a contract, my brother. This is not permissible. Either you commit to calling the adhan, or you leave it. As for taking the job and dividing it between you and someone who does the work, this is one of the contracts where they take the contract and give it to second contractors. This is not permissible. Yes.
