For a working partner in a company, it is permissible to take an additional wage beyond their share in the profits, provided there is a prior agreement with the other partners regarding their work and wage. Otherwise, they are not entitled to anything except with the partners' consent. If the two partners agree on a salary for the working partner, he takes it, and then they divide the profit equally due to their equal shares in the capital. If they do not agree, he is not entitled to a salary, and they divide the profit equally.
