Question 2195) - How are disputes between the claims of the hirer and the hired resolved?

A: There are several scenarios here as well:

1. If they dispute about the fee before the fulfilment of what was agreed upon, then both will take oaths and cancel the agreement.
2. If they disagree after the fulfilment then they will not take mutual oaths. The hirer's word will be taken under oath.
3. If they disagree after partial fulfilment, then both will take oaths and the remainder of the contract is cancelled. The past fulfilment will be according to the word of the hirer under oath.
