Trusts And Commissions
What is the status of trusts and commissions in the Shariah?
Trusts and commissions are permissible as a general rule, but become recommended acts by the trustee or the agent intending something good thereby; offensive acts by the one suspecting that the trust might be betrayed, whether due to incompetence (e.g. an adolescent executing the merger of two companies), negligence (e.g. a traveler managing rental property) or incapacity (e.g. a person expecting to die while overseeing an equity fund) thereby; and unlawful acts by the one intending harm or expecting the betrayal of the trust thereby.
