Combining a government job with trade and circumventing the regulations

The questioner:
The sons of the two.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
A religious community, and yet that and. Commercial work. And they have a tool

The Shaykh:
The issue of circumventing the system established by the ruler for the benefit of the Muslims, whereby an employee does not engage in commercial activities or open commercial shops, must be adhered to. This is because it is obedience to the ruler without disobeying Allah, and it is for the sake of organizing the interests of the Muslims, so that the employee can devote himself to his work and position while receiving a salary from the public treasury that is sufficient for his own expenses and those of his dependents. The state has guaranteed paying his salary for this purpose so that he can focus. If he takes the salary but does not adhere to the regulatory orders, this is considered disobedience to the ruler and betrayal of the ruler. This is a matter that is not permissible. Circumventing the rule by putting the shop in a pseudonym or in the name of another imaginary person, whether his wife, one of his parents, or so-and-so, is lying. Lying is not permissible, and deception is not permissible. So he must either choose the job and limit himself to it, or choose freelance work and limit himself to it. Combining the two is not allowed. Also, the ruler takes into account the interests of the people in this regard. The person who is able to do freelance work and trade should devote himself to trade and be self-sufficient, so that the jobs are available for those who are unable to engage in trade. However, if he prevents people from getting jobs, or prevents people from accessing markets, buying, and selling, this is greed.
This is greed that is not permissible. So he chooses one of the two: either he is a merchant or he is an employee. Combining the two is disobedience to the ruler, and it indicates greed and avarice. Yes.
