The salary of a son working with his father in trade
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have sons from two wives, and my eldest son has started working with me in trade. Should I give him a salary, or a share of the profits that belongs to him alone, excluding his brothers? And would I be sinful if I did not give him a share that belongs to him alone?
Answer:
If he is the one asking for it and says, “I will not work except for a salary, so give it to me,” that is one thing. But if he works and does not ask you for anything, that is considered an act of kindness from him toward you. Yes.
