What is the ruling on taking a 2% commission from a foreign company for mediating between it and a government entity specialized in construction and development?

There is no objection to an employee acting as an intermediary outside official working hours. However, during working hours, his benefits are considered the property of his employer. Therefore, he is not permitted to work for himself or for another party except with the permission of an authorized official. If his employer permits mediation in exchange for a commission, then there is no objection; otherwise, it is not permissible. He must also be cautious not to show favoritism towards the other company out of greed for the commission if he is involved in the contracting process.
