Ruling on assigning a worker additional tasks without pay
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received by the program from a listener in al-Qassim, who indicated his name with the letters (S. F). He says: The owner of a farm has a worker hired specifically for the farm. The farm owner works as a caretaker in a mosque, and at times he takes the worker to the mosque so that the worker can clean the mosque. The salary belongs to the farm owner. Is he entitled to do this or not?
Answer:
If the worker agrees, there is nothing wrong with it. If he agrees to go to the mosque and serve the mosque, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if he does not agree, the owner has no right to compel him; because the work he has is in the farm, and he hired him to work in the farm. But if the worker agrees to serve the mosque, that is an act of devotion and obedience, and there is nothing wrong with it, praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
