The ruling on taking a percentage of workers' wages
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible for us to take money from the workers from the sponsor, called a percentage, and that is at the end of the month?
Answer:
It is not permissible. These workers work for the sponsor; they work for him for the salary they agree upon. It is not permissible to do what many people do, which is trading in workers. He brings in workers and he does not have work for them; rather, he rents them out to people and takes this from them. This is forbidden. He is exploiting them. This is what they call trading in human beings. Yes.
