Question
Some friends go fishing. They hire boys to assist them during the fishing process. These boys prepare the rods for them, they ensure there is enough fishing line on the rod, they put the bait on the rod etc. At times these boys take the rods and fish while the others are taking a break. The fish which they catch is given to those who have hired them. Can the fish be taken?
Answer
If the boys are hired for the day and they use the equipment to catch fish, then the fish belongs to the employers and being paid for their time. However, if they catch the fish in their own time, then the fish belongs to them. But they need the permission of the employers to use the equipment. It is necessary to understand that catching fish for sport is not permissible. Also, using live bait is haraam.
