Question
Poaching of staff - is it wrong to approach staff already working in a business, and offer them employment in the same field, or even in a new start-up business in that field? The reason is that they have experience, industry knowledge, and the main factor is that they know who the main buyers and clients are.
Answer
Poaching staff is not permissible. It is dishonourable, selfish and inconsiderate of the difficulty caused to the next person. It is haraam to cause harm, damage or distress to any person.
