| Summary: | Islam encourages seeking money and earning a living and control of spending habit based
on morals. It forbids spending money through illegal means and has established rules for
financial transactions on the basis of consent. Ujrah (hire) is considered the most important
issue for an employee, and it is the focus of the relationship between him and his employer.
Sharia and law clearly explain haqq al-ujrah (hire rights), an agreement between the
employer and the employee for work done. Islamic scholars unanimously agree that the
reward is either in cash, kind or benefit. However, scholars have different opinions regarding
ujrah al-hijam (cupping hire) and taking
reward for Quranic teaching. Reward is one
of the pillars of contract, and the employer
should pay without delay. Jurists also have
different opinions regarding ijarah alnafaqah (feeding and clothing in exchange
for work). The most important findings of
this study is that haqq al-ujrah is in line with
the stipulation of Islamic Jurisprudence and
law. Islamic law has established rules for
determining the wages of workers to ensure appropriate wages so that workers and their
families may access basic needs and that
equality between employers and workers
may be achieved. |
