The question

How will the salary of the worker who will replace the third brother in a grocery store owned by three brothers with equal capital be paid? And will this brother's share of the profits remain equal to that of his two brothers despite the reduction in his working hours, taking into account his supervision of the work and his administrative experience?

The answer

This company is called a partnership (Shirkat al-'Inan), and it is permissible by consensus. If the third brother wants to bring a worker to perform his duties within the company, the worker's wages are the responsibility of this brother, because he expended it in exchange for what was incumbent upon him. As for the company's profits, the preponderant opinion is that they are to be distributed among the partners according to what they agree upon, whether they are equal or unequal. It is permissible to grant an increase in the share of profit to someone who has expertise in the work.
