Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on a broker who takes ten percent from the buyer in exchange for this brokerage?

Brokerage is permissible because it is in return for effort, but he takes what is customary, what is customary in the market and among the merchants. He does not exceed what is customary except with the permission of the client. If he is permitted to take more than the custom, there is nothing wrong with it. If he is not permitted, he is entitled only to what is customary. Yes.
