The Ruling on Children Participating in Trade
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Abdullah says that she is the mother of eight children. She gave one of them, the eldest, a sum of money to trade with, and the profit is to be shared among them. What is the ruling on this? Is this work permissible?
Answer:
Yes, this work is permissible and mubah (permissible) by consensus. This is the matter of mudarabah (a profit-sharing partnership), where the money comes from one person and the work from another, and the profit is divided between them according to what they agreed upon. This is permissible with a father and with anyone else.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
