Collecting the guarantor’s percentage from the workers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My guarantor takes an annual percentage of six thousand riyals from each sponsored worker in exchange for allowing them to work freely. He has asked me to collect this amount from the two hundred workers at our company in exchange for not taking anything from me. What is the ruling on collecting this money from the workers?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a regulatory matter. This is a regulatory issue that refers to the state’s regulations, specifically the recruitment regulations. If the regulations prohibit this, then it is not permissible, and they do prohibit this.
