Is it permissible for a person to buy shares in another's name, with the latter receiving a percentage or a specific amount?

It is not permissible to take money merely for giving one's name to participate in a joint-stock company, because this involves deception, and because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives us is not one of us." However, if the money is for Mudarabah (definition) (a partnership in which one partner provides the capital and the other provides the labor) and the profit is shared between you according to the agreement, then there is no objection.
