The agreement I have with my worker is to pay him R150 per day.

Question

The agreement I have with my worker is to pay him R150 per day. However, the CCMA people say that I have underpaid the worker. What is the position according to the Shariah?

Answer

The wage should be fixed and the times of employment should be fixed. The nature of the work should be specified. These are the only requirements of the Shariah.

According to the Shariah there was no „under payment‟. The agreement between the employer and the worker is the valid Shar‟i requisite. The kuffaar‟s laws are not valid.
