What is the ruling on taking a sum of money in exchange for bringing students to an agent who handles the application procedures for studying abroad?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It appears the question is about agreeing with an agent to bring students who deal with him in exchange for a commission. There is no objection to this, and it is considered brokerage. The fee for a broker has been deemed permissible by most jurists. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions."
