What is the ruling on companies listing citizens as employees to pay them the salary provided by the state, in exchange for exempting them from attendance and work?
The money paid by the state as salaries to employees is a trust (amanah) in the charge of officials. What companies do by exempting employees from work while giving them money from the state is deception and betrayal, and a breach of the state's intent in employing them. If the state stipulates that companies must employ a percentage of citizens, then companies must fulfill this condition and employ them genuinely. It is not permissible for companies to agree with citizens to hand over money without work, and it is not permissible for citizens to take this money because it is not rightfully theirs. Therefore, employees must either commit to attendance and work and thus earn their wages, or resign from the company. What was received previously without work must be absolved.
