The marriage contract writer, known as the "ma'adhun"; is it permissible for him to seek this profession, or is it not to be sought, like the imam and the mu'adhdhin?

The questioner : Regarding the previous discussion on the work of the ma'adhun, you said that his status is the same as that of the imam and the mu'adhdhin, so we ask: does the prohibition on seeking this profession apply to him?

The Shaykh : Not seeking what?

The questioner : Seeking it. We know that the imam does not seek the position of imam, does he?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Is it the same for the mu'adhdhin?

The Shaykh : Like jobs.

The questioner : Likewise ... .

The Shaykh : Because he is an employee of the state.

The questioner : Yes, even for worldly jobs, it is not befitting for a person to go, for example, seeking or asking companies or this or that?

The Shaykh : No, I am not saying that!

The questioner : The Shaykh says that it is disliked.

The Shaykh : It is the seeking in general, but the previous discussion is more specific than that, meaning!

The questioner : Yes, it relates to the legal issue.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : As for the specific issue, for example, asking, for example, I was in Makkah walking, for example, asking companies and offices?

The Shaykh : There is no objection, my brother.
