Q: A father has a business and employs his son as a manager of the business. The father stipulates the salary of the son as follows:
On a monthly basis the son will receive R2000 (for example) as salary, which will escalate 10% yearly, and together with that, the son will share 50% of the profits yearly with the father, after deducting business expenses. Is this permissible?
A: It is permissible, however the 50% share of the profits after deducting expenses should not be included in his salary. Instead, it should be regarded as a bonus that he will receive from the side of the employer.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
