Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If I go to a worker who is employed at a furniture store and tell him, “I will give you a salary higher than the salary of your owner and your sponsor so that you will work for me.”
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is an encroachment on the rights of a Muslim; it is not permissible. You need a worker who belongs to someone else, and it is an obligatory right, for everyone is in need of work.
