The ruling on exploiting a domestic worker and renting her out for multiples of her salary

Question:
The questioner says: I have a domestic worker whom I rent out to people for many times her salary, and the worker receives only her monthly salary as determined by the agency. The questioner asks: Is what I am doing, and what the agency or most recruitment agencies do, permissible? And how should I deal with the amounts that were rented out in the past?

Answer:
This is injustice, and may Allah protect us from it. This is injustice. It is the exploitation of the weak who have no power to help themselves. How is it that he toils and sweats and labors, and you take his effort and give him only a small amount? What gives you the right to do this?
From the perspective of the Shari'ah, and from the perspective of the regulations as well, this is prohibited. The recruitment regulations prohibit this trading in humans. They say this is a trader in weak humans. So, my brother, if you need a worker or a driver, recruit according to the regulations and give him his salary. Do not burden him with other jobs for people, exploit him, and eat his wages. This is injustice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . This obligates us to give the worker his wage and not take anything from it for ourselves. By what means do you take this? So you must fear Allah and repent from this action. The amount you took from him, return it to him. Return it to him because it is his effort. This is his earnings. By what means did you take it? Return it to him. Yes.
