The Earnings of the Employee and the Teacher from Their Job
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Glory be to the One who controls the issue of government employment and teaching. It concerns a single matter in one’s hands, and one is under direct supervision.
The Shaykh:
Is it?
The questioner:
That is. And teaching.
The Shaykh:
Teaching. Whether it is calculation or teaching. Yes.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed.
The questioner:
Is it suitable for anyone other than you?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible if he takes a job and performs the work as required, advises in it, does not deceive, does not abandon his duties, does not take a bribe, carries out the work, does not delay in the work, and adheres to justice between people and those who come to him. Then it is among the purest earnings, falling under the category of earnings from one’s own hands.
