Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to reconcile two disputing parties and take a fee from them in return for the reconciliation?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible except in the case of a reconciler between two groups or tribes. If he bears a financial burden in return for the reconciliation, he may be given from the zakah, and he should not be left to bear the loss himself. As for reconciliation between people in general, he does not take a fee for it. Yes.
