Question:
The Shaykh, this questioner says: I hired a person to water my farm for a known amount each month, and I stipulated that if he is absent for even one day, he is not entitled to any part of the wage. Is this condition valid, given that he agreed to it?
Answer:
This is a harsh condition. If he is delayed and has an excuse, and he has watered the palm trees for a period before a compelling excuse arose, his right to his wage is not forfeited.
