What is the ruling on raising fees on expatriate workers?

Question:
May Allah reward you. We are receiving the first call in this episode from caller Abu Tariq from Hail. Yes. Abu Tariq. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh Salih. May Allah keep you safe. Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. A decision was recently issued by the Ministry of Labor to raise the fees on expatriate workers to two thousand and four hundred riyals, instead of one hundred riyals annually. And this, Shaykh, has caused us harm; we have felt the harm. The workers have started raising their wages. And I heard, Shaykh, a clip from Shaykh al-Turayfi, or al-Turayfi, who forbade it, saying that it falls under the category of taxes (mukus). So may Allah reward you with good, Shaykh. You are the honored council, the council of the great scholars. If you were to address the Ministry of Labor to limit this, because this, may you live long, causes harm to the citizen and harm to the resident himself. Okay, thank you, my brother. Thank you. May Allah bless you. Please, Shaykh.

Answer:
By Allah, my brother, this is a regulatory matter that the government reviews. Yes. And they are asked to remove the harm. This is how this matter is addressed. Yes. And this does not concern us; rather, it concerns the system and the officials. So go back to the officials. May Allah reward you with good.
