What is the ruling on the University Services Office taking fees from students and a sum of money from foreign universities in exchange for registering students to study there?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If you are acting as agents for students in the registration process, it is not permissible for you to take a commission from offices in exchange for contracting with them to follow up on student procedures, without the permission of your principals. This is because you have already received a fee from them for your efforts. However, if you inform the students that you contract with private offices and receive a commission for that, and they agree, then there is no harm upon you.
