Question
A mother does catering from home. She sells food to the public daily. Her son wishes to earn an income and she gives him 2 days of the week to cook, but she wants 20% of his profits. Is this request permissible?
Answer
It is not permissible for the mother to demand a percentage of the son's profit. As his mother she may ask him for anything, but she may not stipulate 20% of his profit.
