Hiring, Renting, and Lease: Ruling on Determining Fair Remuneration for Effortless Services

English:

Question #1625:

Some services rendered to others require neither physical nor mental effort. In the absence of a wage rate by the government, and the fact that time spent in the provision of services is not the deciding factor, what is the criterion of deciding the remuneration?

Answer #1625:

The wages paid for such services can be determined by the common view. There is also no objection to both the parties of the transaction agreeing to the payment they both deem appropriate.
