Is it permissible to take a 10% commission from the cost of transactions that I complete for the company's employees, which is added to the original amount without the workers' knowledge? Are the funds acquired from this permissible (halal)? What is the legitimate (Sharia-compliant) way to obtain compensation for completing these transactions? Is it necessary to inform the company owner or only the transaction owner?
