Ruling on bringing in workers and taking a monthly amount in exchange for sponsorship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The listener (S. A.) sent a question saying: Am I allowed to receive a reward of three hundred riyals per month in exchange for sponsoring a worker to remain as a worker in the Kingdom for someone other than me?
Answer: That is not permissible for you. Rather, you bring him in for a known monthly wage so that he works for you or for others with whom you have agreed on a known wage that you pay him every month. As for him giving you money for his sponsorship, that is not permissible.
The Council of Senior Scholars has looked into this and ruled that it is not permissible to bring them in except through the method prescribed by the state, the method that the state has decided and approved. It is not permissible to bring them in through other methods because of the corruption and harm to people involved in that. If he wants a worker, he brings him in through the method prescribed and explained by the state, which is to bring him in for a known monthly, daily, or annual wage, on the condition that he works in such a way in his farm, in a building, in such a place, in a known job. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
