Fitra for Labours or Staffs
Issue No. 1707- If a person employs someone and agrees to meet his expenses (i.e., a servant), he should pay his fiṭrah. However, this does not apply to the labourers whose expenses are met by their employer as a part of their wages; thus, it will not be obligatory on him (employer) to pay their fiṭrah. Similarly, in guest houses and the like, where it is common for the staffers to have their meals there, and in fact, the food that they eat is considered to be part of their wages, it is obligatory on them to pay their fiṭrah themselves and the employer would be under no obligation.
