Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, regarding this issue—may Allah bless you—currently, the system in place in all companies is the capital system. This capitalist system is based on...
The Shaykh : A democratic statement, a democratic statement.
The questioner : Huh, the system currently in place for companies, institutions, and government departments is that I—for example—work in this company, or in a government institution, or any department, and I take my salary that I agreed upon with them, and my fees. Even if there are days off that I worked, I take my salary and get it when I finish my work now. As for what is called fees, the actual fees are taken according to what we have heard from company owners or business owners, despite their objections, because the law forces them to pay this money. The worker has the legal right to demand these fees through the courts. I do not know their religious ruling. Is it permissible for the worker or employee to demand fees, even though he takes his salary, or has taken his full agreed-upon salary? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Every question has an answer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : If you say that it is despite his objection, the answer was explained earlier.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : There is nothing new; only the form is different, and here it is said: "The causes are many, but the death is one."
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The form is the same.
The questioner : It is the same, yes.
The Shaykh :Sunan al-Bayhaqi 7:67 .
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But the form is completely different if the owner of the company agrees to this agreement.
The questioner : Yes, he does not agree; the law forces him.
The Shaykh : Every question has an answer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : The important thing is, the man, my Shaykh, the tenant came out, may Allah bless you.
The student : Shaykh, we are going crazy with this... I am talking to him now, I go crazy every day... the question is for the Shaykh here.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Please, Shaykh, I have been wanting to ask you for a year, wait a little, Abu 'Abdullah says I will be a tenant for twenty-five dinars, the tenant wants to evict me, I want to go rent for seventy...
The Shaykh :Sahih al-Bukhari 13 ... .
