Is it permissible to give a brother one percent of the sale value of an inherited house because he found the buyer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your brother is entitled to the customary brokerage fee in your country if he is known for brokerage, acted as a broker for you, and brought the buyer. However, if he is not a broker, the default is that he is a volunteer, unless you agreed with him beforehand on a fee. In that case, he is entitled to what was agreed upon; otherwise, he is entitled to the customary fee from the total price before it is divided.
