The money the guarantor takes from the worker every month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on the money the guarantor takes from the worker every month on the pretext that he leaves him free for the entire month? This money is taken by the guarantor from the worker by force, and the worker must pay it even if he does not work.
Answer:
This contradicts the system of the one in authority, because the one in authority only permitted the sponsorship of workers for those who have work for the workers to do and pay them agreed-upon salaries in the sponsorship contract. Muslims are bound by their conditions, and it is not permissible to violate a condition. Therefore, this is forbidden for two reasons: first, it is a violation and disobedience of the one in authority; and second, it is consuming wealth by an unlawful means, whereby this worker is exploited, he toils and labors, and then his produce, in which he sweated and toiled, is taken from him.
So this is not permissible. Recently, the countries have called this the trade in persons, the trade in persons. You employ workers and trade in them, you let them work, and you take their produce. This is not permissible, neither internationally, nor religiously, nor by law. Yes.
If you have work, employ them in it. If you do not have work, transfer their sponsorship to someone else or send them to their countries. Yes.
