Is it permissible for a man to enter into a profit-sharing partnership with another man and also receive a monthly salary in exchange for his effort?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... Regarding my partner, I will take half of the profit plus a salary. Is that permissible for me?
The Shaykh: It is possible.
The questioner : It is permissible. It is as if I heard Abu Wail say that it is not permissible for one to be both an employee and a partner at the same time.
The Shaykh : Who is saying that?
The questioner : Abu Wail, Muhammad Kheiri.
The Shaykh : This is merely receiving an opinion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But there is no evidence for it.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And Islamic justice requires that each person takes according to his work. So if you bring in a person to perform a job,
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : and he is not a partner, then this hired worker takes his right. So if the partner is the one performing the same work,
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : then why should his right be diminished from the perspective of reason?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And from the perspective of transmitted texts, there is no text that prohibits that, so we accept it as such.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh: It is possible.
The questioner : It is permissible. It is as if I heard Abu Wail say that it is not permissible for one to be both an employee and a partner at the same time.
