Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the partner in a mudarabah contract is imposed a fixed amount by the worker, is his satisfaction a valid justification for the permissibility, i.e., for the permissibility of fixing the profit?
Answer:
No, this is an agreement on what is invalid, which is not permissible. If they agree on riba (usury or interest), it is not valid. Agreement must be on something permissible; agreement on something forbidden is not permissible.
