Ruling on working with a man who earns money through deception
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There is a worker who works for a man, and this man earns money through deception. What is the ruling on the worker's salary?
The worker works for a man who earns money in a forbidden manner, but he pays him for his work, so there is nothing on him, unless he is working in a matter that assists that man in the forbidden act, in which case it is not permissible.
The questioner: Does he work and assist him in that work?The Shaykh: Then he should leave; he must not work at all, because he has assisted in sin and transgression. However, if the guarantor has a farm and he earns money unlawfully, and this man works in the farm with no involvement in his earnings, there is no harm. But if he assists him in earning money in a forbidden manner, it is not permissible at all for him to remain with him. From now on, the salary he has already received is forgiven,because of His saying, the Exalted: [al-Baqarah: 275] but in the future, after he knows the Islamic ruling, it is not permissible for him to remain.
