Taking a percentage of the profit as compensation for his work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Two partners joined in a project with a fifty percent share for each. One of the partners intends to devote himself fully to management with the help of others who are paid wages. Is it permissible for him to take a monthly salary by agreement with the other partner, or is this not permissible, and must he take a percentage of the profits in exchange for his handling of the administrative work?
Answer: If two or more people partner in a commercial venture and one of the partners takes on the work for a wage, there is no harm in that. It is permissible for him to have a share of the profit greater than the shares of the others in exchange for his work. There is nothing wrong with this if they agree that he will work and take a percentage of the profit greater than his partners' shares in exchange for this work.
Question: What if he did not take a percentage of the profit, but instead took a monthly salary regardless of profit or loss?
Answer: What I have seen in the statements of the jurists is that he takes a percentage of the profit in exchange for his work.
