Appointing someone to call the adhan in exchange for money and taking the job benefits
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
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.
The Shaykh:
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.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: I have now submitted my resignation from the mosque. My question is: Is it permissible for me to take the benefits that result from that?
The Shaykh:
If you were not doing the work without an excuse, you have no right to the benefits. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
