The Ruling on Monthly Employee Associations

The questioner:
Now, the last question, may Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. What about the associations among employees, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
I understand, O Shaykh. The situation is, for example, that there are five, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
There are five, O Shaykh. The associations among the employees are five; each one contributes five thousand monthly, and one person receives it, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you.

The questioner:
There is nothing wrong with it.

The Shaykh:
A decision was issued by the council regarding the life of the Imam; there is no harm in it.

The questioner:
Because one person, O Shaykh, reported that you forbade it, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Previously, and then we returned to the permissibility.

The presenter:
I ask, did you return to it, O Shaykh? May Allah preserve you and reward you with good, O Shaykh. Peace be upon you, O Shaykh.
