How to divide the profits of a school canteen if the students and the school are partners in it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! There is a school canteen in which there are partners from the students and the school, but the profits reach approximately five riyals. However, the person in charge of the canteen is forced to buy some of the school's supplies, such as photocopying paper and the like, and the profits are not divided equally between the students and the school; the student is given two riyals from the riyal, and the rest goes to the school.
What is the ruling on that?
Meaning, the summary of the question now is: He says: The school canteen’s profit is divided between the students who contributed and the school’s interests.
If this is with the consent of the students, there is nothing wrong with it, provided they are adults of sound mind. As for if they are below the age of maturity, the reference is to their guardians.If the guardians say: It suffices us for some of the profit, and the rest is for the school’s interest, so there is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, permission is required. Then, if it is well-known among people that the canteen’s profit is divided between the partners and the school’s interests, meaning: then no specific permission is needed; what is well-known is sufficient.
