A middleman inquires about the following:
- Is brokerage lawful [halal] or unlawful [haram] so that I would refrain from it?
- If it is lawful, what is the permissible maximum fee prescribed by Islamic law i.e. what is the percentage I should take as a commission? I want to seek that which is lawful in all my work and income.
- I have disagreed with my clients over the percentage I should receive. So, what is my share in the sale of 60 meters of "land" for 400 LE per meter i.e. a total of 24, 000 LE?
