The Ruling on Sharing Workers' Wages with the Owner of the Establishment

Question:
Well, he says: A man owns a company and has workers. He agreed with them on percentages when the contract was written. For example, the tile worker takes fifteen riyals per square meter, or for instance, if it is fifteen riyals per square meter, a portion of it is divided to the company and the rest goes to the owner of the company, and so on with the plasterers and others. Is this permissible? Is the question clear?

Answer:
He brings in workers and then makes them work for people. What they earn is divided between him and them. This contradicts the regulations. The regulation for recruitment is that you recruit if you have work. As for recruiting workers when you have no need for them and no work, and then investing in them and consuming their produce, this is not permissible, neither by the Shari'ah nor by the regulations. The regulations do not permit this. The Shari'ah does not permit you to consume the wealth of others and the labor of others. They call this trading. Trading in persons. Yes.
