Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The agreed-upon conditions and salaries in the contract must be fulfilled, based on the words of Allah Almighty: (O you who have believed, fulfill [your] contracts) and the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." There is no harm in requesting a salary increase or paid leave, and the employer has the freedom to accept or reject.
