What is the ruling on intercession for jobs?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Shaykh, regarding jobs.
Answer : Intercession for jobs is permissible, but on the condition that the person being interceded for is qualified for the job. That is one condition. The other is that no one more deserving of the job than he is has sought it. If someone more deserving than he is has sought it, then intercession is not permissible. If they are all equal, it appears to me that if there is no competition, there is no harm.
