What is the ruling on the profit I gained from facilitating a contract between two companies, and benefiting from the price difference, knowing that my work did not harm my company and the work was completed with the best quality?

It is permissible for you to contact the company, bring a subcontractor, and take a percentage of the profit, provided that supervising the installation of cameras and receiving the work are not among your job responsibilities. It is also stipulated that this communication be outside working hours or take up only a small amount of time from them.

However, if supervision or receiving the work is among your job responsibilities, then it is not permissible due to the conflict of interest and betrayal of trust it entails. This is because an agent must work for the benefit of their principal, not for their own benefit. Jurists have prohibited an agent from selling to themselves or buying from themselves due to the suspicion involved, and they have warned that this could lead to favoritism and failure to perform duties properly.
