Wages for workers at a fixed amount in a commercial establishment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a man who opened a commercial establishment and hired workers for it. They imposed a monthly salary on me, set at a specific amount, and it was not a division based on a percentage. Is this action valid, given that the establishment belongs to them and they manage all of its affairs?
Answer:
This depends on the state's regulations. If the state's regulations, specifically the labor recruitment system, permit you to do this, then there is no harm. However, if the labor recruitment system prohibits this, then it is not permissible.
The presenter:
May Allah grant you success
