Is a maintenance contract that includes a fixed number of visits (20 visits per month for one year) for repairing faults or for inspecting and preventive maintenance of the electrical network of buildings, with daily tasks specified by the client, and at a fixed wage per visit (10,0 pounds), considered legally valid or does it involve gharar (excessive uncertainty)? And what is the ruling on maintenance contracts that are limited to work only and specify the wage?
There is no objection to a contract for the maintenance of a company's properties for a known period for a known wage. You are entitled to the wage upon enablement, even if no work is performed. As stated in "Asna al-Matalib": "The employee is entitled to the wage, meaning to receive it, upon self-delivery [of oneself for work] and the passage of the period during which work was possible."
