Question:
One of the brothers says: He opened a commercial shop and appointed one of the workers to manage it. The owner of this shop wanted to stop working entirely, so he said to the worker, “Give me 5,000 riyals a month, and whatever is left is yours.” Is that permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible, because the state prohibits this. The system established by the one in authority prohibits this, so this is not permissible.
