Ruling on taking financial amounts from those brought in for work

Question:
A message from the Holy City of Madinah, signed by one of the female listeners, says: The sender (F. A.) our sister says: I have an establishment in my name, but my husband handles the operations. We obtained twenty visas, and after that, he asked the workers for an amount of three hundred riyals per month, and they work on their own account. I am confused about this, so is what my husband did permissible or not? Knowing that my husband insists that it is permissible after I discussed it with him more than once. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You and he must follow what the state has prescribed regarding the recruitment of workers, and not deviate from that. You must work in accordance with the instructions the state has laid down concerning workers, and you are not permitted to deviate from that; because you are required to obey and listen in what is right, and this is part of what is right.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
