Agreeing with a contractor to build

A: If the employer stipulates in the work contract that he will give the employees the portion they need of their salaries and retain the rest on the expiry date of the contract, or when for example they travel and they accept this condition, then there is no blame on him in this case, for Muslims must abide by their conditions. (Part No. 14; Page No. 398) It has been authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, It is not lawful for a man to take his brother’s staff without his willingness. (Related by Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim in their two Sahih (authentic) books of Hadith). He has also said, None should milk someone else’s cattle without his permission. (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). There are other Hadith that show the impermissibility of taking the property of other Muslims without their consent except the obligatory rights which are due upon them such as: Zakah (obligatory charity) and alimony, etc. Such obligatory rights should be taken from them even if by force. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
