The Ruling on Delaying the Payment of Wages to Workers in the Custody of Guarantors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some guarantors may delay paying the wages of their workers, and there is harm to these workers, because they want to send that money to their children?
Answer:
This is injustice, may Allah protect us from it. That is, delaying the wages of workers or others is injustice to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pay the worker his wage before his sweat dries." It was also reported in a hadith that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) will be the plaintiff on the Day of Resurrection against anyone who hired a worker, took the work from him, and did not give him his wage.
