Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I am working in a job and I receive money for it, but I have other work, so I asked someone to do this work of mine and take half of what I receive, is this permissible?
The Shaykh: What?
If I am working in a job and I receive money for it, but I have other work, so I asked another person to do this work and take half of the amount, and I take the other half?
Answer:
If the intended work is its existence, the intended outcome is its achievement, and you hire someone to do it in the manner you do it, of your kind, or better than you, or more skillful than you; then there is no harm, except if the one hiring you wants you to do it directly, and has stipulated that you do it yourself, or wants you to do it directly and handle it yourself, then you are not allowed to hire someone.
As for if the intention is not in you, but the intention is to produce this work, to produce this room, to build this room, to repair this door, to open this opening, and the like, and the intention when he told you was to produce this thing, even if not by yourself, even by another worker, then if you hire a worker who performs the task as you do it, or better than you; then there is no blame in that, for what they gave you, or less, or more.
