Delaying the payment of workers' wages

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on delaying the payment of wages to workers who work for a person?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Give the worker his wages before his sweat dries.أَعْطُوا الأَجِيرَ أَجْرَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِفَّ عَرَقُهُ
Sunan Ibn Majah 2443Sahih (Darussalam)
, so it is not permissible to delay. It is obligatory to give the worker his wage immediately, even while the sweat is still on his forehead from the work. Yes.
