The ruling on appointing a worker to serve in the mosque on one's behalf due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, may Allah preserve you: A man works as a servant in one of the mosques, then he was afflicted with an illness that prevents him from performing this work. So one of the workers was placed in his position with a portion of the salary. He says that he has informed the Endowments Administration. Is this work permissible or not?
Answer:
If his inability to work is temporary, and it is expected that the illness and the excuse will end, and then he returns to work, there is no harm, especially since he sought permission from the Ministry of Endowments. However, if his inability to work is continuous and it is not expected that he will return, it is not permissible for him to continue in the work. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
