The questioner : A man engages in a partnership through his work, taking a fixed wage, but the scholars, or some of the scholars, say that if a dispute arises, this problem cannot be resolved. So either the person is a wage-earner or he is a partner. What is your response to this? Is it not known in the Shari'ah that one is either a wage-earner or a partner? Either he is a wage-earner or he is a partner?

The questioner : A transaction.
The Shaykh : And the original ruling for it is?
The questioner : Permissibility.
The Shaykh : So when it departs from that?
The questioner : Okay, may Allah reward you with good.
