What is the ruling on receiving a commission from the bank for selling a car, given that the transaction is not directly with the bank, and the commission is transferred from the bank to the sales manager's account and then distributed among the employees?

The commission you receive from the bank is considered a gift to employees, and it is not permissible except with the employer's permission. If the employer gives permission, then there is no harm in taking it; otherwise, it is not permissible. However, two matters must be noted: Firstly, if the transaction involves usury and the commission is taken on that basis, then this is impermissible due to it being an assistance in usury. Secondly, if the commission is permissible, it is stipulated that there should be no deception of customers or withholding of advice, because "religion is advice."
