What is the ruling on receiving a continuous monthly percentage of the profits offered by an investment company to whoever brings in new investors, as long as the investor remains with the company?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Originally, it is permissible for a company to give a commission to someone who brings investors. However, the majority of scholars stipulate that the commission must be a known amount. It is not permissible for it to be a percentage of the profits for the duration of the investor's stay, though some scholars do permit this.
