The answer

If a person performs work for another without an agreement on wages, and the worker is accustomed to working for wages, then he is entitled to a wage equivalent to that customarily given for such work (ajr al-mithl). This equivalent wage is determined by consulting experts in the field of maintenance, who assess the value of the work performed. These experts must be fair and unbiased, and it is preferable for their assessment to be made in the presence of both parties.
