Is selling girls' dresses for 15% of the sale price permissible or forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Displaying and promoting the goods of others for sale is permissible in Sharia, either through leasing (where the exhibitor leases space in their location), or by acting as a sales agent for a fee, or through brokerage (mediation between buyer and seller). Both of these are permissible. However, making the commission a percentage of the sale is a matter of dispute. The majority of jurists prohibit it, while some scholars permit it. According to the view that permits it, there is no harm in making the commission 15% or less or more.
