Is dealing considered forbidden if you are a broker in the field of currency exchange and take a difference between the buying price and the selling price as a commission, knowing that you do not possess sufficient funds to complete the buying and selling operations yourself, and are you obligated to inform both parties or one of them that you are taking a commission, and is the dealing permissible if you bring in a third party and tell them that they will take a commission for the transfer, and the agreement between you is that this commission will be divided between you?
The intermediary is an agent, and it is not permissible for him to take a commission without the knowledge and consent of the principal. He must inform the principal of the amount of the commission taken from his money, not merely inform him that a commission will be taken. It is not permissible for you to be an intermediary and secretly agree with him on a percentage of his commission.
