Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

A person has entered a country as a visitor and his passport was stamped that he was not allowed to work. If he works illegally and gets the money 'under the table', is it halal?

Answer

If the visa was granted against an undertaking that the person should not engage in any sort of employment during the period of his stay in the country, his infringement of the undertaking is Haram. However, this should not deny him the wages for the work; it is permissible that he has the right of disposal over it as he deems fit.
