The agent's actions for the benefit of the principal and taking a commission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Even if he has money owed to him by a man and he says to another man, "Collect it from him, and a quarter of it is yours," or "Take a third of it," or "Whatever you collect from him, a quarter or a third of it is yours," that is permissible.

Answer:
Likewise, this remains a significant amount. He says, "At the company, it is such-and-such, or at the government office, it is such-and-such, or at so-and-so's place, it is such-and-such." He wants to rest, so he says, "You are his agent. Demand the right. If you collect it, half is yours, or a third, or a quarter." I am not expressing it well. You are in my place. Demand the right at the company, or at so-and-so's place, or at the National Assembly and the state, or at any place. Whatever you agree upon—whether it is half, a quarter, or a third—there is no harm in it; because this is in the interest of the agent and in the interest of the principal.
