A mosque cleaner who hires a worker to do his job and gives him half the salary: what is the ruling on this work?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes, peace be upon you, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy, O Shaykh. If there is a mosque, O Shaykh, and I applied for the position of cleaner, received the salary, and hired a worker, O Shaykh, and gave him half the salary.

The Shaykh:
He sees that he should seek permission.

The questioner:
Who is satisfied, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
I want, I want.

The questioner:
If the regulations do not permit this matter.

The Shaykh:
Unless it is under the supervision of the Waqf, in which case they would take it and imprison the person.

The questioner:
If the mosque is under the Waqf, but the regulations do not permit this matter, the regulations do not allow it.

The Shaykh:
Without a doubt, without a doubt, except with their permission.
