Agreement with the Imam on a Fixed Salary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In our country, this questioner is from outside this country, he says: In our country, the state does not give the imams and the mu'adhdhins a stipend from the public treasury. Rather, we make an agreement with some of the imams to pray in our mosque, and we agree to set a specific, fixed salary for him by mutual agreement of both parties. Is this a permissible hire?
Answer:
If this is from your side and he did not stipulate it, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if he is the one who stipulates that you agree with him on a specific salary, then this is not permissible. Yes.
