The Islamic Personality by Sheikh Taqīuddīn An-Nabahānī

30.4 The Amount Of The Wage

The wage of the employee can be a mentioned wage, and it can be a comparable wage. As for the mentioned wage, it is the wage mentioned and specified at the time of the contract. It is considered as the mentioned wage, the workers who each know their wage like officials in a specific grade or labourers in a specific factory where the wage of its labourer is well known. Hence if labourers or officials are used and their wage is named, so that which is named is their wage. If their wage is not named, it is considered whether it is known so it is given to them and is considered a named wage; if it is not known, they are given the comparable wage.

The comparable wage is the wage of comparable work and the comparable worker, or the wage of the comparable worker only. The estimation of the comparable wage must be by those with experience, and the people of experience must specify the wage by looking into the personality of the employee. While evaluating the comparable wage, three matters must be looked into:- One: If the wage came upon benefit, to look into the thing whose benefit is equivalent to the benefit of the hired (thing).

Two: If the benefit came upon work, to look into the person similar to the employee in that work i.e. to look into the work and worker.

Third: To look at the time and place of the lease because the wage differs according to the difference of benefit, work, time and place.

The knowledge of the comparable wage depends upon the place of experience, so it is not permitted for the claimant to establish evidence upon it. Rather it is obligatory for experienced people to evaluate it free of self-interest, so the two disputing parties choose them by consent. If the two do not agree upon some one, then the judge chooses them
