Question:
Leasing shops to the workers?
Answer:
To sell and buy in it, or to reside in it?
Q: No, for selling and buying, for trade.
A: There is nothing wrong with it. What is the rent?
Q: The agreement is that there should be a salary between them, but he waives the salary.
A: The intention is that he leaves an agent in the shop to sell and buy on his behalf through agency. There is nothing wrong with that.
Q: The worker gives the guarantor two thousand riyals every month, and the goods are from the worker, and all the selling and buying is from the worker?
A: This is the rent for the shop, and the worker is the one who sells and buys.
Q: And the goods are from the worker?
A: There is nothing wrong with it. This is called: the rent for the shop.
Q: But the worker came from his country based on a contract between him and the guarantor, that he would give him a salary?
A: If they are lenient, there is nothing wrong with it. So if the worker concedes and becomes in a trading shop for a rent that he pays to his guarantor, and he is the one who works in the shop or resides in the shop, there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: And if the worker pays the rent and also pays two hundred riyals to the guarantor?
A: No, it is not permissible to take anything for the guarantee. But he may lease the shop in which the selling and buying or residence takes place. There is nothing wrong with that.
Q: But the system prevents the worker from trading on his own?
A: If the state forbids it, he does not disobey the state, and he consults the authorities in this matter; because these are matters that concern the benefit of the Muslims. He must listen and obey, and proceed according to the teachings.
