Ruling on working for a salary and a percentage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The honorable Shaykh! I am an employee who works for a salary of three thousand riyals and (5%) of the profits. Is this permissible?
This requires careful consideration; because the implication of the scholars' words in the issue of partnership is that it must be by share. So instead of having, for example, a salary of three thousand riyals and (10%) of the profit, you would have (50%) of the profit without a salary.
Or you would have a fixed salary,Meaning: and nothing from the profit; the entire profit belongs to the owner of the shop, and you are his employee. There is nothing wrong with that.
As for giving you a salary along with a portion of the profit, this requires careful consideration of the issue, and perhaps Allah will open the matter for us.
Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
