Question
I work for an estate agency. I find clients who do not wish to pay the commission to the agency, so I provide the seller and the buyer with details to do a private sale and collect commission from the seller. Is this commission halaal?
Answer
It is not permissible for the employee of the estate agency to act in any way which undermines them (the employers). The measure proposed by the employee is deception and haraam. He is abusing his position of Amaanat. His employers have placed him in a position of trust. He should not stab them in the back even if they are non-Muslims. It will have a sequel in Allah's Court.
