Expenses of Residency for the Recruited Worker: Between the Guarantor and the Guaranteed, and the Conditions of the Recruitment Contract

Question:
He says: A brother sent me a visa, and when I arrived, he refused to pay the residency expenses on the pretext that he had not received a single riyal as the price of the visa, as any guarantor does. All the brothers agreed that the residency costs are to be borne by you. What is your opinion? This returns to the recruitment system established by the state, by which they are judged.

Answer:
Based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the saying of Allah the Exalted This is a contract between the recruiter and the recruited worker, on which they agreed and were satisfied, in accordance with the state’s system. Therefore, the recruiter is bound by what the system established by the ruler prescribes. He has no right to say, “This is not obligatory upon me” or “It is not so.” Rather, he must fulfill what the system stipulates, because it is a condition between the recruiter and the recruited worker.

May Allah reward you with good.
