Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Meaning, his companion was the cause of the job.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: . And he cleared the way for the applicant in the expenses, so is it permissible for him, meaning, to take money?
The Shaykh: Excuse me, who is going to take the money?
The questioner: His companion, al-Husayn, said to him: I will look for you in the expenses, meaning al-Husayn told him, so is it permissible for him to take money from him?
The Shaykh: Meaning, his companion al-Husayn was the cause of employing al-Husayn?
The questioner: No, it was him, al-Husayn was the cause of employing the man!
The Shaykh: Ah, al-Husayn.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Was he the cause of employing the man?
The questioner : Yes, ah.
The Shaykh: Okay, and now al-Husayn is asking if it is permissible for him to take from him?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: He said to him: I will look for you in the expenses, meaning, it was like that, he told him about his situation, he told him: Is it permissible if he gives him money, for example, is it permissible for him to take it or not?
The Shaykh: Your saying: Is it obligatory? The answer is naturally: It is not obligatory, but perhaps you are asking if it is permissible, is it obligatory? It is not obligatory, but you are asking if it is permissible?!
The questioner: No, okay, is it obligatory for him to take it?
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you, okay, why don't you connect with Abu Malik?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh: Why doesn't Abu Malik call me so I can clarify it with him.
The questioner: By Allah, he told me that he told you, yesterday he tried to call you, the line was not answering him, and the last time it was giving the impression that no one was in the house, it rings and rings, no one is there!
The Shaykh: Okay, so your question is, is it obligatory for him to take it?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: The answer: It is not obligatory.
The questioner: It is not obligatory, meaning, if he gave them to him, and he was kind to him, would that be wrong?
The Shaykh: It would be fine if it was from the goodness of his heart.
The questioner: Ah, from the goodness of his heart, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: How do I know, I am answering you.
The questioner: Yes, yes, yes.
The Shaykh: If it is from the goodness of his heart, it is permissible, otherwise it is not.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
