What is the ruling on a contracting company employing specialized labor from Asia on behalf of another party for a percentage of their wages, given that the company is committed to paying taxes, travel tickets, wages, accommodation, and healthcare, and the laborers are aware of this?
It is permissible to recruit workers and lease them to people for a specific fee, provided that you have contracted with them regarding the nature of their work and their wages.
