2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-‘Abbas ibn Musa from Yunus from Sulayman ibn Salim who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who hires another man for a certain amount of wages and dirham to send him to a certain land. When he arrives in that land one of his friends invites him with who he stays for one or two months where he does not need to spend from the supplies of his employer. After calculating he finds out that the amount his employer had provided is not enough and that his expenses have been taken care of by the resources of his friend; if the shortages in his expenses is the responsibility of the employee or the employer. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is on the employer if it serves his interests, but if it does not serve his interest then it is on the employee.’ I then asked about the case of a man who hired another man for a certain amount of wages and did not explain anything about his sending him (the employee) to another land, and then whose responsibility was his expenses such as washing clothes and bathing? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the responsibility of the employer.’”
