Is it permissible to combine two salaries from the state if one works diligently and devotedly in both jobs, and neither affects the other, such as when one is a teacher and also works for another governmental entity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to combining two jobs in the government sector, unless the government prohibits it, due to the generality of Allah's Almighty saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Muslims are bound by their conditions in what is permissible."
