Is the transaction correct in the water distribution project, where the partner sometimes drives the project vehicle for a fee, and the money earned goes to the common capital, knowing that driving the vehicle is done without a license, and does this affect the permissibility of the money earned?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to allocate a specific wage to the driver partner as a salary for his work in driving, provided that the lease contract is separate from the partnership contract. However, it is not permissible to set a wage for partners who are enlisted for management or other tasks within the partnership contract, although their share of profits may be increased. It is also permissible to assign specific tasks to one of the partners with a separate contract for a fixed wage. The basic principle is that driving without a license is not permissible, but this does not render the money earned from lawful work unlawful.
