What is the ruling on the factory profits deducted from the workers' salaries?

The questioner : In short, our Shaykh. Our Shaykh, a woman called in the morning, but I was asleep. She asked a question, and my answer to it was, of course, the question was as follows: she has a husband who works in a factory, and this factory deducts a specific amount from each person every month, and at the end of the year they distribute the profits of this deduction to them. So I told her: If this amount is invested in places...

The Shaykh : ...one point, not another point.

The questioner : ...the market.

The Shaykh : ...not just in the market, but also in homes.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : ...from one side only. In my first opinion. It does not mean...

The questioner : ...mixed.

The Shaykh : ...there is oil and dry stuff.

The questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : ...there is a little salt, which is acceptable.

The questioner : I know, no, no, better, by Allah, I do not know, O our Shaykh. May Allah reward her with good, this one.

The Shaykh : Put it down, yes.

The questioner : I told her, this woman, if they deducted this amount and put it in banks, then your capital is yours. Because it is not permissible to take from this except the money that was deducted from them only, as for what increases from these profits, it is taken from the factory and spent on public facilities. I explained to her what public facilities are...

The Shaykh : ...this is the load.

The questioner : This is first. She told me, no, it is not done in the bank. The factory manager says that we work with it in the factory. This money strengthens the factory, and this is work for you. So I told her: If it did not enter the bank, then it is lawful for you. Brothers in faith, the continuation of the speech is in the next tape. This is first. She told me, no, it is not done in the bank. The factory manager says that we work with it in the factory. This money strengthens the factory, and this is work for you. So I told her: If it did not enter the bank, then it is lawful for you, because as long as it works in the same factory and there is nothing else, there is no objection. But only that it does not work outside and then come back and say that this works in the factory.

The Shaykh : No, this answer is not sufficient like that.

The questioner : If she, O Shaykh, of course I told her to speak with you. Yes. But let us understand, I mean.

The Shaykh : I said to the factory manager, "We do not put this in the bank, but rather it is from the work in the factory. What does that mean?"

The questioner : I mean, it strengthens the factory. I mean, this amount, when we deduct it and buy goods with it and strengthen the factory, and this is your profit at the end of the year from the work that happens in the factory.

The Shaykh : This is the word "profits." If the factory lost...

The questioner : Of course, I did not speak about this. I did not speak.

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not sufficient.

The questioner : Yes, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : I mean, the manager's answer means that... this man... the woman's husband... hmm... he is not deducted from his salary. He becomes a partner to the extent of what was deducted from his money. Yes.

The questioner : With the factory.

The Shaykh : With the factory. Well, this is an intertwined partnership. Every month, how many dinars are deducted? Fifteen, and so on. Well...
