Renting out one's professional name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 20405 )
Q: I am a female doctor, and after specializing, I resigned from my job to care for my children. The owners of clinics have offered to put the clinics under my name in exchange for a fixed sum of money as a share, where they bear the profit and loss, and I receive a fixed amount, but I have the right to intervene in technical matters if I wish. The question is: Is the amount I receive
halal or haram, especially since I may not be able to monitor the technical aspects? If that is haram, what is the halal method? Is it halal or haram if I make the income a percentage? I ask for guidance on what is best, and may Allah preserve you.
A: What you mentioned is not permissible for you to do; because it involves deception and misleading people, and taking money without right. As for the correct method, it is that you perform the work yourself, and you advise for the sake of Allah and His servants in your work.
