Q: In certain fast food establishments, the staff are not paid wages. The staff survive on tips of the customers. Is this permissible in Islam?
A: If the waiters are working voluntarily, they are happy to work without taking any type of remuneration, they do not complain nor do they demand and request a wage and they are comfortable with this arrangement, then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
(ودفع المال إلى آخر مع شرط الربح) كله (للمالك بضاعة) فيكون وكيلا متبرعا (ومع شرطه للعامل قرض) لقلة ضرره (الدر المختار 5/647)
