It is not permissible to receive a monthly salary merely for one's name or prestige, because that falls under consuming people's wealth unlawfully. However, if the person of prestige exerts practical effort in opening and ensuring the success of the establishment, then there is no harm in him receiving compensation for his effort only, and not a monthly salary.
