Minimum salary, paid leaves and work permit : baby sitting job and the work permit
Fatawa Question
Dear Dr. Monzer, As-salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah. I hope this message finds you in the best of health and Iman. Eid Mubarak, may Allah accept your good deeds and grant you a long and happy life in the Dunya and great reward in the hereafter. May Allah bless you for the wealth of knowledge you are sharing with us through your website. I have a question and I hope you answer it and dispel the confusion I have about it. I came to the USA with an R1 visa which authorizes me to work. My wife came on R2 Visa which does NOT allow its holder to work. Recently my wife was approached by some sisters who work at a school and need a babysitter for their kids. The school gave them a room for babysitting but the sisters, not the school, will pay for my wife. Do you think it is Haram for my wife to accept this offer ? I look forward to hearing from you and greatly appreciate your help in this issue. Jazak Allahu khairan and may Allah accept your time. Sincerely, Muhammad
Fatwa
