The ruling on deducting a portion of the money from one who is absent from work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I and a group of relatives and friends entered into a business partnership, and we all agreed on a specific condition, which is that four individuals will oversee this business, each for one week, with this supervision rotating among us. The second condition is that whoever is absent from this supervision will have a sum deducted from the money he receives monthly, which is then distributed to those who carried out the supervision. So, if I receive money from this, is it considered lawful, or is there a doubt in it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no doubt in that, and there is nothing wrong with it. Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Muslims are bound by their conditions.المسلمون على شروطهم.
So when you perform the work in his place, you are entitled to the wage that he would be entitled to if he had been present and performed the work. What you took, you took in exchange for having performed the work in his place. Yes.
