Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Shaykh, a man asks. He says: He has workers, and he has a job for some reason. He was offered the option to hire workers at a rate higher than their salaries. For example, each worker gets twenty-two dinars, while the worker on a fixed salary gets ninety dinars. Is this permissible?
Answer : If they are content with that, there is nothing wrong with it, on the condition that he is a guarantor for them, cares for them, and has an impact on their work.
The presenter : May Allah guide you, O Shaykh.
