I hired a worker for a salary of (700) riyals, and I am now dealing with him on a percentage basis, as that is more beneficial for him, and I do not trouble myself with anything regarding him except for the sponsorship.

The questioner : Noble Shaykh, is it permissible for me to deal with a worker I hired for a sum of seven hundred riyals, for example, and upon his arrival in Saudi Arabia, I dealt with him on a percentage basis, knowing that this is better for him than his salary and more profitable? Is this permissible or not? Even though I do not trouble myself with anything regarding him except for the sponsorship and housing. We ask your nobility for guidance?

The Shaykh : The guidance on this question does not pertain to this program, but rather refers to the regulations in force in the state. This questioner should refer to the competent authorities regarding workers and ask them. If they permit him to deal with them on a percentage basis, there is no harm in dealing with them on a percentage basis, provided that he is the one who accepts the work, standing by what the work requires, and that it is his responsibility, while the workers are responsible for the labor, and the profit percentage between him and them is as they stipulate. However, it is necessary that the state has been informed of this and has agreed to it. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you. The listener Abd al-Rahman al-Rumi says in this question.
