What is the ruling of the Sharia on dividing the profits from a plot of land that was purchased with funds from a contracting company managed by the questioner, who owns 10% of its profits, such that 25% goes to the person who facilitated the purchase, 25% to the questioner, and 50% to the company? And is the questioner entitled to take this percentage (25%) for his personal account?
The Mudarib (agent) is an agent on behalf of the capital owners, and the capital in his possession is a trust. The Mudarib is not entitled to profit from his work unless authorized by the principal. If the capital owners permit him to take a certain percentage, then it is permissible; otherwise, it is not lawful for him to take it.
