For e.g. If person A gives person B a car to sell with the condition that he will get a cut of the profit, but he <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">doesn\u2019t mention the amount\/percentage then is it permissible for person B to use the commission?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">2) Similarly if an employee is working for a salary which is unknown then will his income be lawful.

However, the percentage amount or commission fee must be agreed upon earlier. This fee or percentage amount must not be left vague as this will surely lead to disputes after the sale of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">As a general rule in a financial transaction, there needs to be mutual <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">agreement (trade) as mentioned in the Quran (4:29). This is usually when there is clarity on all parts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Therefore, in order for the commission contract to be valid, there must be an agreement of a certain fee or percentage prior to sale of the item. If there is no agreement, this will lead to fights and disputes which are not permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Similarly, one should not work with an unknown salary as this will also lead to disputes between the employer and employee. In all financial agreements or dealing, there must be full clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva,
