Question:
What is the ruling on giving a worker a percentage of the profits, such as one-third, for example?
Answer:
This worker is suitable for a salary. The worker has his salary, and it is not permissible for him to become a partner. The government prevents this; it prevents the hired worker from becoming a partner in buying and selling. But if you want to encourage him by giving him something in addition to his salary, there is nothing wrong with that. However, making him a partner with you in the shop is forbidden. Yes.
