Is it permissible to take a commission from the factory owner or the shop owner for bringing a customer, or to take an increase on the price of the item in return for the customer's purchase, and what is the permissible commission?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the factory or merchant gives a portion of the money in return for selling goods as an encouragement without increasing their price and harming others, then this is permissible. But if this money is added to the buyer in the price of the goods, then it is not permissible to take it; because it harms the buyer by increasing the price on him.
