Question:
He also asks: Is it permissible, if one takes a pledge (hujjah) from a person and finds another pledge with a higher wage, to leave the first and take the second?

This is mere saliva, and it has become clear to people that they take multiple pledges and sit in their homes, going to restaurants to eat.
