Is there a salary for the government workers who embarked on a strike that they have to get from the government whenever they resume work?

Praise be to Allaah. If you want an Islaamic answer, in the law of Islaam I am not entitled to be paid for a work I did not do. This is Islaam. This implies that no work no payment is the take of Islaam. What right would I claim to have for which I should be paid for a work I didn't do? Don't you know we will be called to account in Qiyaamah after leaving this world? If I get such money and buy a car with it, don't you know I have purchased a disastrous car? If I get such money and buy food stuff with it, don't you know I have purchased disastrous food stuff? If I get such money and buy a cloth with it, don't you know I have purchased a disastrous cloth? This implies that (you have to follow Islaam).

In this system itself, you have declared that you don't need religion in Nigeria, so you have to interact with yourselves upon your foundation in Nigeria. This is because it is a government formed on the basis that there is no concern about the take of our creator. So you have to keep dealing with yourselves upon your ratiocination. But if you are talking about Islaam, you have no right to be paid for a work you did not do.

Even you as a person, if you have a person who is the security guard in your house and has been absent for about three months, and Allaah did not predestine thieves to rob your house, and he come backs after three months to ask for payment. (Won’t you say) money for what, are you insane? (If he says give me) money for the three months I missed. (You may ask that) did you come to work?, (and he responds saying) I have been absent. I embarked on strike over failure to increase my salary. Won’t you employ someone else? If it happens that you were robbed within the three months, won't you get him arrested and accuse him of sending thieves to rob you. For this reason, you have no right to be paid for the work you didn't do if you are a Muslim. You may argue that the Nigerian government is unIslaamic but are you not bothered about Islaam?

We seek halal earnings from Allah, Ar-Razaq, Al-Ganiy! You are the Provider, free of wants! Provide for us from sources we never knew and let us celebrate your praises in good!

No work no pay and ASUU strike should continue since the goverment in Aso Rock is not ready to listen to the voice of the people, indeed islam is sweet

You do not do any work on weekends and when you're on leave, yet you get paid.
Strike is also one of such benefits. It has nothing to do with either halal or haram earnings

Hmmm

Na hunger go give you sense, no worry. As you dey your papa house, no chop too because you no dey work for the food.

Weekends were never part of your work agreement. Paid leave was part of your employment agreement. These points of yours do not apply here.

Nigeria is a secular state and should be run by the constitution and not some Sharia law.

Amen

JazakaLlahu khairan for this enlightenment

This issue should be looked based on the "Agreements" in cause of working for someone. The agreement specifies monthly payment whether you worked for it or not. So, please don't confuse ethics and teachings of Islam with the issue of "ASUU strike's no work, no pay".

The post for the Muslims to know what their religion says.

I know the post might be too long for a lazy person like you. But at least don't comment if you didn't read or you read but didn't understand.

Hmm true tho

I have not said anything that necessitates name calling or appendages.

Show me the lie in what I posted. Yes, it is for Muslims to know what their religion preaches. But need I remind you that even as a Muslim in a secular state, it is the constitution that guarantees your rights not the Holy Quaran?

The Holy Quoran says solat must be observed five times a day at certain times each day. Will a banker leave his/her duties to observe same?

There are always exceptions and make ups for each law.

You find every opportunity to antagonize people and you're always mouthing "Salam".

Much for #Peace

All of una just stupid. Coming up with different fatwa and teachings to further help the oppressor suppress the public.
What’s the sharia judgement for politicians carting away billions of state recourses into personal coffins? Unfortunately when it comes to holding the poor public accountable, we are so quick at that. Remember the central abuja imam that called out the FG over insecurity, the other alfas start coming out with fatwa that we should respect and obey the nation leaders despite all that’s been faced by the citizens.
Make all of una get out.

In Nigeria, Islamic laws are only applied to punish the poor masses, not to check corrupt politicians. Hypocrisy of the highest order!
What's practiced as sharia law in Nigeria is political sharia, holding down the oppressed, poor victims to ensure they remain poor.
Funny enough, the same poor victims are the defenders of the oppressors.

Bleep headslammers, fucking bloody tasty demons with their hypocritical Abraham religion.

More so, ASUU did not make agreement with government under sharia law, but under secular law.
So the op is out of point.

With respect to ASUU, it's not Haram.
Firstly, it is legal under labour law to embark on industrial action to press your demand. Initially, government claimed they were not formally notified of the strike; hence the stoppage of salary.
Secondly, irrespective of how long the strike is, universities would try as much as possible to run marathon semesters to cover the time lost. A twelve weeks semester would be shortened to eight weeks while the curriculum would be covered. Would the government pay overtime??
NO.
Lastly, I think this topic should not have come up at a time like this. It would give the government more power to oppress the helpless civil servants.
If government decide not to pay the backlog of salaries they owed it's worker due to strike, who is going to challenge them on what they have use the funds for? (Billions of naira)

Islamic law has always been political. That is why it has always respected the powerful just like other political laws

Your contribution doesn't have any correlation. Because the working days will be stated and all other conditions

Salym:

so you don't know that workers have right to industrial actions (strikes) ?

If strikes are not legal, you think government will keep accomodating it??

But why do idiots bring religion into everything? Are these workers working for an Islamic State? Or are they working for the Mosque. Some of these religious extremists need to be whipped mercilessly at the market square.

I am a Yoruba Nigga
I am a Muslim

Definitely, I am not stupid

Joshmoore:
C'ommon! my friend go and tell your Islamic son to pay ASUU and do the needful to all lacking sectors, Mr corruption no fit even stand and take a decision against corruption for once, if ASUU is corrupt, then take a decisive action against them and let them recieve the penalty, and if they are not, pay them up and get this fuxxking country back on track you God forsaken deaf man

Don't mind the idiot. He just released Joshua Dariye and his friend. Two convicted thieves who stole billions of their states' money, but he can't pay the equally greedy ASUU. Buhari will not end well.

No reasonable Muslim is interested in this nonsense because the country is not and will never be governed by Islamic Laws. Did you and your fellow religious extremist look into what Islam says about being employed by a useless government? Until then, go and die.

Don't you know that provision for leave with pay and to be off duty on weekends with pay are part of the terms of employment?

Jazaakumullahu khayran for the effort. Meanwhile before fatwa is passed on issues like this there are certain issues that must addressed.
1. What are the workers requests?
2. Are there requests justifiable?
3. Before embacking on strike what are the steps they have taken?
4. What was the government response?
If industrial action is the only language our government understand I think we need to speak it. Do we think if it were to be wharf that emback on strike since February, will government not respond with immediate effect because of the huge amount they generate from them? May Allah set our affairs aright.
