The answer

It is permissible for a person to take five dinars for every worker he brings to a workshop, provided the workshop owner gives permission for that. If he takes it from the workers, it is considered a fee for providing work. If he takes it from the workshop owner, it is part of his wage. However, taking it without the employer's permission is considered a bribe.
