The Ruling on Fixing the Earnings of a Taxi
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother 'Umar ibn Ghali has a question, in which he says: I hope you will read my question to the Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him). He says: I bought a taxi and gave it to my brother to work in it. I gave him a monthly wage of two hundred and fifty, on the condition that he brings in fifty riyals every day. What is the ruling on this transaction?
Answer:
It is not permissible to fix the earnings that come in, because work with the car and driving the car may result in something or may not. So imposing a specific amount on him is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
