Some companies require employees to contract with the Dutch bank to receive their salaries through this bank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : One of the companies required employees to contract with the Dutch bank to receive their salaries through this bank, and since one of the conditions of the contract states that any dispute between the bank and the employee is to be referred to the commercial registry or commercial law, some employees signed this contract and others did not sign it because of this condition?
The Shaykh : As you mentioned, there are some entities, companies and non-companies, that require employees to open an account in any of the banks in order to transfer the salaries to this bank. If a person cannot receive his salary except through this means, there is no harm; he opens an account, but he does not deposit money from his own funds into it, meaning: he does not put in dirhams from his own money. Yes, but as for receiving the salary from there, there is no harm.
The questioner : Now, regarding the condition to which they refer for judgment?
The Shaykh : No, this condition is not acceptable.
The questioner : Now, if he is ordered to sign and this condition is among the conditions?
The Shaykh : It is not acceptable.
The questioner : It is not acceptable.
The Shaykh : Referring to other than the Book and the Sunnah is forbidden.
The questioner : Now, does that mean he leaves this job?
The Shaykh : No, he does not leave, but he does not accept it, meaning he signs it as if he is forced to do so, but if a dispute occurs, he does not refer to them for judgment.
The questioner : If a dispute occurs.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if a group of people, three or four for example, come to console a person over the death of a relative of his, what is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh : Why? This row is supposed to be yours, yes, no, that’s wrong, ... because there are rows ahead of you coming. Do you have a question? Please, go ahead.
