What is the ruling on money acquired from mediating recruitment without a license from the state?

Brokerage between two parties to a contract in leasing or selling is permissible in principle, and it is permissible to take a commission for it. This applies when the brokerage involves something that is lawful to mediate. However, if it violates the law and the ruler prohibits it for a valid interest, then it should not be contravened, because the ruler has the authority to prohibit and restrict the permissible for a recognized interest. The assessment of interests and harms is for experts and specialists, and the people of knowledge in the questioner's country should be consulted.
