What is the ruling on hiring workers and releasing them in exchange for money?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people hire workers and say: "At the end of the month, give me, for example, one thousand riyals," and they release them to work?
Answer:
This is not valid; it is not permissible. This is taking money without right. It is not permissible to hire them except for their benefit, as was issued by the state, as was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars. The hiring should be to the extent that the state has permitted; because this is a matter of public benefit.
