The Ruling on Hiring Workers in Violation of the Regulations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to hire workers and allow them to work for someone other than their sponsor, taking from them a monthly amount agreed upon by both parties?
Answer:
One must adhere to the labor regulations. The Labor Law does not allow anyone to employ workers in violation of the regulations, utilize them, and take from their labor. This constitutes combining two crimes. The first crime is that he has defied the authority and the country's regulations. The second is that he has taken money without right. Therefore, he must repent to Allah the Exalted and adhere to the labor regulations. Yes.
