The answer

If the commission is paid from the company's funds, there is no objection. If it is paid from the investor's money, his knowledge and consent are required. In both cases, there is no objection to the client and the representative sharing this percentage by mutual agreement. However, taking a commission from the investor's money without his knowledge is forbidden and a grave sin. The investment must be in what Allah has made lawful, without usury, forbidden sales, or assisting in what is unlawful.
