What is the ruling on agreeing with real estate agents on a fixed percentage of the sale or purchase without a salary, while obligating them to specific working hours? And does the ruling change if there is a small salary in exchange for committing to attendance along with the percentage? What is the ruling on combining a fixed salary with a commission? And is it permissible to adopt the opinion of a scholar who permits this, if it contradicts the majority opinion?

"The work of these individuals in your office for a percentage of their income is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The majority of scholars prohibit it, while some, including Ibn Sirin, Imam Ahmad, and Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, permit it, viewing it as a way to encourage workers and motivate them. It is preferable to set a fixed salary to avoid the disagreement."
