Should the profits be divided among the three partners according to each one's capital contribution, given that I am the only one working without a salary? And does the 10% from the external company's agency enter into the office's profits and get divided among the partners? And is the monthly salary I receive from some clients my own, or does it become part of the office's income, given that commissions for this work are deposited into the office's income?

It is permissible for two or more capital sums to combine, provided that one of the partners manages the funds. It is stipulated that the working partner receives a share of the profit greater than the profit of his own capital, in exchange for his work in his partner's capital. This is permissible according to Islamic law. The profits are then divided according to the proportion of the capital, with an agreed-upon increase for the working partner. However, if he works voluntarily, he is only entitled to the share of his capital from the profit.
