The Ruling on Sending a Worker Back to His Country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible to send one of the workers back to his country, meaning that I have cut off his livelihood, as it is said?
Answer:
This depends on the terms of the contract. If the worker violates any of the conditions of recruitment, you may send him back to his country. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Muslims are bound by their conditions." This is not cutting off livelihood; rather, it is fulfilling the conditions or enforcing them. However, if you send him back out of arbitrariness or to harm him, and he has not violated any of the conditions of recruitment, then this is injustice. This is injustice toward him and is not permissible. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:1] This is a contract between you and the worker, and you are required to fulfill it, unless he does something that voids the contract. Yes.
