Ruling on hiring workers for fishing on a share of their catch
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message reached the program from one of the listening brothers asking about fishing. He says: Is it permissible for me to employ workers in fishing without a salary, knowing that I give them half of the production and take the other half? And sometimes we catch nothing all day long, and there are no conditions between us, the workers, and the owners of the sailing boats. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If they agree to that, there is nothing wrong with it; there is no blame on them. This is a settlement between them and a partnership between them, and there is no blame in it. If they partner in fishing by halves or quarters, there is no blame, whether it is land hunting or sea fishing. If they mutually agree to this, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
