Wages of a broker
وَلَمْ يَرَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ وَعَطَاءٌ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالْحَسَنُ بِأَجْرِ السِّمْسَارِ بَأْسًا. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِعْ هَذَا الثَّوْبَ فَمَا زَادَ عَلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا فَهُوَ لَكَ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ إِذَا قَالَ بِعْهُ بِكَذَا فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ رِبْحٍ فَهْوَ لَكَ، أَوْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُسْلِمُونَ عِنْدَ شُرُوطِهِمْ».Ibn Sirin, ‘Ata’, Ibrahim and Al-Hasan did not see any harm in them. Ibn ‘Abbas said, “There is no harm if one says (to a broker), ‘Sell this garment for such a price and whatever more you get, is for you.’” Ibn Sirin said, “If one says to a broker, ‘Sell it for such a price and if you get more, the profit will be for you or divided between us,’ there is no harm in it.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Muslims should abide by their conditions.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانُ، وَلاَ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ. قُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَا قَوْلُهُ لاَ يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ قَالَ لاَ يَكُونُ لَهُ سِمْسَارًا.
Narrated Tawus: Ibn `Abbas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the meeting of caravans (on the way) and ordained that no townsman is permitted to sell things on behalf of a bedouin." I asked Ibn `Abbas, "What is the meaning of his saying, 'No townsman is permitted to sell things on behalf of a bedouin.' " He replied, "He should not work as a broker for him."
