The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on my going to a company and registering my name with them, such that one of their conditions is that you do not work with them, but rather you receive a salary at the end of every month?
The Shaykh:
This is their way of circumventing the Saudization requirement, circumventing the system, and this is taking money by falsehood. It is not permissible for you to do this; because it is lying and deception, and you are taking money without right and without work. This is not permissible[Al-Baqarah 2:188] Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If they gave it to you out of love for you or as charity to you, that would not be contrary to the ruling, but they are giving it to you through the avenue of lying and deception. Yes.
