The ruling on the customary daily work arrangement for construction and maintenance workers

The questioner:
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In construction and maintenance work, there is a custom where the hired worker works for a full day, from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon, for a fixed wage. However, the nature of the work varies depending on the type of work and the location. What is the ruling on this custom?

The Shaykh:
Like work.

The questioner:
In construction and maintenance work, there is a contract where the hired worker works for a full day, from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon, for a fixed wage. However, the nature of the work varies depending on the type of work and the location. What is the ruling on this time?

The Shaykh:
The ruling is that it is permissible, provided they agree on the duration, the type of work, and the wage. The conditions are met: the wage is known, the duration is known, and the work is known. So this is a valid contract. Yes.
