The ruling on a person receiving a salary while at home without working, which is known as al-Sawda'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I obtained a job at home and they pay me a salary for it. Is there anything wrong with me regarding these jobs?
Answer:
I fear that this is of the al-Sawda' that they speak of, where they say, “We will give you salaries and you will stay in your homes and not work.” But they use this as an excuse against the rulers who are obligated to employ citizens, so they do this as a ruse. This is not permissible, and this is consuming wealth by means of falsehood. Yes.
