What is the legitimate commission for a broker: is it 2.5%, 5%, or according to agreement?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for the buyer and seller to agree on a known commission that one or both of them will take. The commission is not determined by a specific percentage, but by what has been agreed upon, provided that it is within customary limits and beneficial for the broker, and does not harm the seller or buyer by exceeding what is customary.
