Is it permissible for the director of a charitable organization to receive a salary from it after it has acquired independent income, and how is this salary determined?
There is no objection for the director of a charitable organization to receive a fair wage for his work. However, he should not determine it himself; rather, it should be determined by the organization's regulations. For this, reference should be made to the authorities responsible for charitable work. Similarly, it is permissible for workers to receive a fair wage or less from donations, commensurate with their work. The estimation of the wage should not be entrusted to the workers themselves, but rather determined by the boards of directors or general assemblies. Furthermore, the supervisor of an endowment is entitled to a fair wage if the endower did not specify a wage for him and if it was customary for him to receive a wage for his work.
