What is the ruling on working for a company that installs car accessories, if it relies on agreements with sellers in car companies to send customers in exchange for a commission, with the price of the goods being set to exceed their original cost (for example: goods that cost 5 riyals are sold for 10 riyals to the customer, and the intermediary may sell them for 20 riyals or more or less), all without the buyer's knowledge, and what is the ruling on the commission that the intermediary takes in this case?
What we understand from the question is that your company, which sells accessories, has agreed with the employees of the car dealership that they will send customers to your company in exchange for a commission, which is the amount exceeding the set price. This transaction involves several points: Firstly, the agreement with the employees of the car dealership is considered brokerage, and their fee is the amount in excess of the price. Secondly, the car dealership management's lack of knowledge about this makes the employees' taking compensation for this action impermissible if it occurs during their official working hours. Thirdly, there is no objection to working in the accessories company if its products are permissible, and the aforementioned agreement with the car dealership employees does not affect your company. However, it must be regulated by Sharia guidelines, with the permission of the car dealership management granted to its employees.
