The ruling on eating from money the father took from workers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: My father takes money from the workers under his sponsorship and spends this money on us. Is it permissible for us to take it?
Answer:
You have no responsibility regarding your expenses; your father is the one responsible for what is forbidden and what is lawful. He is the one responsible, and you are not. Whoever provides for you is the one responsible for this. However, it is not permissible for a person to employ workers for others, take their wages, and make them his own workers; that is forbidden for him. It is forbidden for him. He did not bring the workers to exploit them. He brought them to work for him only. The system does not allow him to do so unless he has work of his own that requires workers. That is the system. But bringing workers to exploit them for others and taking their wages is not permissible. This is trading in human beings. People now accuse the disbelievers of this, saying, "You trade in human beings." This is correct; it is not permissible. A decision was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars more than twenty years ago prohibiting this and preventing a person from bringing workers except to the extent of his need and the work he has. He must not bring workers to employ them for others and take their wages. Yes.
