Employing relatives and friends and ignoring others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a business owner and the head of a work center, and I only employ my friends and relatives, while I ignore the others. Is there any sin on me for this?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to show favoritism to your relatives and friends if the work belongs to someone else. However, if the work is yours, there is no harm in giving preference to your loved ones and relatives, as this is a matter of your own status. But if the work belongs to the state or to a company that is not yours, then you must deal with people with justice.
The presenter:
May Allah send blessings upon you.
