Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: I have a commercial establishment, and there is an employee of Egyptian nationality who deals with some merchants. We are coming. He says: I have a commercial establishment, and there is an employee of Egyptian nationality who deals with some merchants, and recently I have started to suspect some of his actions, though I am not certain of that. I have started to place a surveillance device in the shop, and I also monitor his phone calls, knowing that he speaks with his wife. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
My brother, if you are not comfortable with this employee, then you remove him from your service. You do not need to put eavesdropping on him, or put recording on him, or put... My brother, pay him his wages and let him go to someone else, and do not occupy yourself with him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
