Resolution No.(308)(3/2022) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Selling Work Permits"

Date: (24/ Sha`ban/1443 AH), corresponding to (27/3/2022 AD)

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all His family and companions.

At its 3rd meeting held on the above date, the Board received the following question: What is the ruling of Sharia on selling work permits?

After deliberating, the Board arrived at the following decision:

Work permits of expatriate workers are governed by the laws and regulations of the ministries concerned; therefore, they are to be observed since breaking them leads to general harm that affects the country`s economic situation and the labor market. These laws and regulations should be adhered to because they were originally made to prevent exploitation of human beings and labor trafficking, in addition to combating corruption that could take place in this sector.

Accordingly, it isn`t allowed for an employer to sell work permits because these stipulate specific conditions regarding the worker as well as the type of work, so selling them is a clear violation of these conditions. This is in addition to the fact that selling a permit is selling a property that the employer doesn`t actually own since the relevant ministry is the only authority entitled to grant this right, and , in principle, an employer should abide by the terms of the contract. The evidence on this is that Almighty Allah Says {What means}: "O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations."{Al-Ma`idah/1}. Moreover, the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muslims will be held to their conditions." {Related by Tirmithi}. It can be added that selling these permits could lead to corruption and preying on the need of workers to make a living. Therefore, conditions stipulated in these work permits should be adhered to. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

 If a disposable water bottle has the logo (Al-Aziz Water Shop) ,is it allowed to throw it away considering that (Al-Aziz) is one of Allah`s beautiful names?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
You can remove some of the letters so that the word isn`t read as (Al-Aziz). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

If someone bought a car from an interest-based bank and then sold it to another person, does the second person bear any sin if they use the car's price to pay the installments owed to the bank?

When the buyer purchased the car, it became their property, and the price became their responsibility. The bank acts as the seller's agent for receiving the payment. Therefore, there is no sin on the second buyer, God willing, as long as the bank does not impose an increase in the amount if a payment is delayed. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

After I had prayed, I found a drop of menstrual blood and was unsure when that happened; what is the ruling on my prayer and fast?

All praise is due to Allah, peace and blessing be upon the Messenger of Allah.

Your prayer and fast are correct ,and you should not make up for them, and we ask Allah, The Almighty, to duely reward you for these acts of worship. Your menses start once you see blood because the situation remains as such unless there is certainty or predominant conjecture, as per the Fiqh maxim: "Certainty is not removed by doubt". And Allah Knows Best.

 Is it permissible to pay the Zakah to my grandmother who lives alone in a rented accommodation with bad conditions noting she had three sons. 

Zakah cannot be given to ascendants (parents and grandparents). It is obligatory for her sons and grandsons to provide for her, and they would be sinful if they fail to do so. And Allah Knows Best.
