Transcript
- 0:01OK, good morning. We are continuing with Elko
- 0:05service. We are on KUF Einzion.
- 0:08We're beginning to read inside see if bet.
- 0:13So again, very short intro, again, this is the case of ISCA
- 0:19when we're doing, whenever you're going to make a deal, a
- 0:23business dealing, you have the investing partner and then you
- 0:26have the managing partner or the investor and the manager and all
- 0:31of the item belongs to the investor, but all the work is
- 0:35being done by the manager. Now, when do we see again this
- 0:41applies really when you see the Gemara and the Shah Khanarak,
- 0:44anytime there's money or objects involved, either one, whether
- 0:49anytime there's a loan, but it's not just a loan where now the
- 0:53guy's going to do whatever he wants and there's guaranteed.
- 0:55All the akarias is on the normal loan.
- 0:58All the Aquarius is on the borrower and he's guaranteeing
- 1:02an amount to pay back here. It's a business arrangement
- 1:06where the profits they're going to share the profits from from
- 1:10what comes out of it. So that it applies anytime money
- 1:14is given or an item is given. As Ruben's example was if you're
- 1:20going to give two barrels of wine, the the investor owns 2
- 1:25barrels of wine, he's going to give two barrels to the to the
- 1:30manager, partner, managing partner, and he's going to sell
- 1:33the wine. Then he's going to return the
- 1:35empty wooden barrels. He's going to return all the
- 1:38money, the principal, and they're going to share the
- 1:41profits. So in any time you have any kind
- 1:45of a business deal in this, in this fashion, whether it's
- 1:48objects or money, we apply ISCA that we say to Kanaz Kazal, it's
- 1:5450, everything is basically 5050 responsibility, profit loss and
- 1:59everything. There's going to be a caveat
- 2:00we're about to get to. But of course that's a stom
- 2:06case. They could make an arrangement
- 2:08where the percentages and everything is different.
- 2:11That's fine. That's, but that's the stum
- 2:14case. If they don't specify or if the
- 2:16Minogue is explicitly one way, then obviously that also make a
- 2:20difference on the proportions on the percentages.
- 2:24But OK, so that's the main principle.
- 2:26Now this doesn't apply when giving over land and giving over
- 2:30Karka. It doesn't apply this Takana
- 2:33Khazal of Khetzi Khetzi because it's unlikely that any major
- 2:37catastrophic damage and loss is going to happen to the land.
- 2:40So Khazal never made this Takana to protect the, the, the noting
- 2:47the investor. Also, this is different than our
- 2:50case in Olive. Our case that we just had is
- 2:55when this this Iska is when you're giving him money to sell
- 3:01it, to invest in this, to use this item to to use it to invest
- 3:06and to making a business deal. And he can sell it and do
- 3:09whatever he wants and then he has to return the principal and
- 3:12they share the profits In Aleph. You gave him a piece, not a
- 3:17piece. You gave him an animal.
- 3:19The case was an animal. Don't get confused with land by
- 3:22marriages. It's son Barzos the the the
- 3:27expression, but you gave him an animal and you're not giving him
- 3:31the animal to sell. You're giving him the animal to
- 3:34hold on to as a showmare and to use it.
- 3:37So there there's again, there's no there's no concept of isca.
- 3:40We discussed yesterday the ramifications of potential ribis
- 3:45based on responsibility. You know, it might be there
- 3:48slightly to be there abundant, but that's anyway no here, no
- 3:51there. And I believe it would be the
- 3:54same thing. If you give someone your car or
- 3:56your truck and he's going to make money out of using your
- 3:59truck, you give them here, here's my my truck, my car, go
- 4:03use it and we're going to share the profits.
- 4:06So I would believe it's the same thing as Aleph where we don't
- 4:09apply the principle of ISCA is ISCA is when you're giving him
- 4:12something to sell primarily to do whatever he needs to make a
- 4:17profit out of it. So let's read it inside Hanotein
- 4:20maala kavero batarat iska person gives him cash.
- 4:24The hainu shahetzi akhayat al anotein vahetzi al Amakabel
- 4:28where based on the Khanas hazal, we say half of the Aquarius is
- 4:32on the notain and half of the responsibility is on the MI
- 4:36Kabel. 5050 asur, this is asur as of now.
- 4:42Why Shakal iska palga milva Palga pikadon Because any Iska
- 4:47Khazal said it's half and half. So what happens?
- 4:50Why is this going to be asur Medin ribis?
- 4:54Why? All right, Pasha sister
- 4:56abandoned venem suchitarea bhela ka pikadon bishwil helika milva.
- 5:01Because what happens when they do this deal of khetzi?
- 5:05Khetzi. Effectively, what's happening,
- 5:08the owner of the the owner is generating half of his profits
- 5:14from the well, all of his profits from the half of the
- 5:17piccadon, the borrower, the managing partners creating all
- 5:22of his profits from the from the mill of 1/2 because that's his,
- 5:27so he gets to keep all and if so that's he gets all of his profit
- 5:31from the mill of it. Now what happens?
- 5:34So in other words, we have a loan over here, the man, the
- 5:37investors giving them the managing partner, 50% of it as a
- 5:43loan. So there's a loan, right?
- 5:45When anytime there's a loan, there's potential for Ribis.
- 5:49So where is the Ribis he's paying?
- 5:52He actually is paying something to the, to the to the, to the,
- 5:57to the investor for the rights of profiting and using this
- 6:03half. He is paying Ribis to the
- 6:06investor. How's he paying ribis?
- 6:08Ribis can be in the form of service or money or objects.
- 6:13You can pay back Ribis in a numerous ways and it'll be Ribis
- 6:17could even be OK. OK, so fine.
- 6:19So how do we see? So where's he, where's the
- 6:22Ribis? He's working for free with the
- 6:27Picadon half so that the the the investor is making all the
- 6:33profit from his picadon. Well, he's working, he's doing a
- 6:38service for free for the investor.
- 6:41Why would he work for free? Because he's getting a loan of
- 6:45Amilva. So him working on the Picadon is
- 6:49how he's paying the ribis on his on the halva on the Amilva half.
- 6:52It's not. Only the situation where he
- 6:54doesn't get the profit. He's getting the money's coming
- 7:01out of the profit, but they're sharing at 5050.
- 7:04We'll digest it maybe more afterwards.
- 7:06But what's happening is he's of course he's getting profit.
- 7:11I mean, it's only a problem if he if there's a profit, correct?
- 7:15If they if nobody makes any money, then it turns out there
- 7:19was no Rivas. Maybe.
- 7:30OK, fine, maybe. Maybe.
- 7:33OK, I hear it. Fine.
- 7:34Let's let's read inside. That's the Ribes.
- 7:43He's paying back. He's working for free so that
- 7:45the guy makes money. So what happens is they have to
- 7:59the in order to avoid Ribis, what we have to do is the one
- 8:10who's the managing partner has to make a little bit of profit.
- 8:15That could be a salaried amount, could be a designated amount, it
- 8:18could be a percentage amount, but effectively it's not.
- 8:22The profit is no longer going to be 5050, it'll be 4555.
- 8:28It'll be 49 to 51. But the managing partner must
- 8:35benefit more than 5050 more than the investor because he has to
- 8:40get paid for his work otherwise. So that when he him working for
- 8:46the Picadon and giving the guy 50% of the profit for him
- 8:50working or all the profit of the Picadon for him working on the
- 8:54Picadon, he's not doing it because of the loan.
- 8:58We don't want there to be Ribis. He's doing it because he's
- 9:00making an extra $50.00 an hour, $100.00 an hour, one percent,
- 9:055%, whatever the arrangement is, it has to be something.
- 9:08Now if you wake up after the fact.
- 9:10So then we say it has to be based on how much it's worth it
- 9:14for him not to work. He has his job, he's not going
- 9:18to work his job. So therefore he's taking off and
- 9:20working for you. Therefore, he has to get paid
- 9:22accordingly. The E mayallo ASIC akhir
- 9:26kolshuhulit Asik boimoto oops Philo hello dinar.
- 9:39Now if he has busy with, he's busy with another job and so it
- 9:44doesn't really look like he's doing much for the other guy.
- 9:47It's not really noticeable. So then it's enough just to
- 9:51charge an extra dinar an maybe an extra dollar, whatever the
- 9:55custom is. We'll see by I don't know if
- 9:57we'll see, but by Hetter Iska, sometimes you just charge an
- 10:01extra dollar as it's more symbolic of of of avac ribis.
- 10:08So therefore anyways, we just want to avoid, make sure there's
- 10:11no ribis over here. So then you don't have to charge
- 10:17him as much. In other words, if he's busy
- 10:19with another job, so it could be, so typically it's referring
- 10:32to here he's work if he's already working for the Malvet.
- 10:36So then for sure you don't have to charge much because there's
- 10:40not NICAR what he's working for. He works for him anyway.
- 10:43It's not and he's getting paid anyway.
- 10:45It's not NICAR that this he's working for the Picadon in order
- 10:48for the Milba. So it's totally not Nikar.
- 10:51And therefore you just have to charge a little bit.
- 10:56And regardless what it is, you just divide it according to the
- 10:59original arrangement. Let's say 5050 also, hey, you'll
- 11:09get the tiles. How to read this?
- 11:11Basically, he says all of the profit goes to you.
- 11:14In other words, you get your full 50%, but I'm going to pay
- 11:19you an extra third or an extra 10% and that's going to be your
- 11:26wages. In other words, whatever you
- 11:27arrange is is fine as long as it's clear that he's making the
- 11:32managing partner has to make a little more profit than the
- 11:34regular. All the rebuch, the regular 50%
- 11:38is what it's referring to Hoel Vieshua Asik Akhar Hareza Mater
- 11:42since he's busy working with him on some other level.
- 11:45It's not it's not Nikar and it looks like he's when he's
- 11:50working. It doesn't look like he's
- 11:51working for the Picadon for the sake of the Alva.
- 11:53Looks like he's working for him for his other job and just.
- 12:01Getting an extra percentage is not enough.
- 12:05Well, it has to be a fair wage or Yeah, it has to get paid.
- 12:09Aware, I think if you do it in advance.
- 12:11Here. Here.
- 12:15Well, yeah, when you get to Gilmore, we'll see.
- 12:18We'll keep reading. You have to read the whole
- 12:20picture. You see the Yafsil Mehta.
- 12:24And if he loses, if the if the property, whatever the item that
- 12:28goes down, it's ruined, then they share the losses via meet
- 12:34Asik. But it still has to be where you
- 12:35share the losses. That's 5050.
- 12:38We Maya meet Asik Ariso. Now, if the guy the manager was,
- 12:43he was, he works for him as an Arisa with something else.
- 12:53And if he's in Aris where he's working for him for a land and
- 12:57they make the percentage off of what comes out of the land.
- 13:00So then he has a responsibility to the land, to the owner, to
- 13:04the noting, to the investor with this other dealing.
- 13:07And then since he's a meshuba to him, he doesn't even have to add
- 13:11anything Hagah. But sorry, leot call Hagah
- 13:16picadon Allah noting the reiterates what we just read.
- 13:21Make sure. But still he has to be when it
- 13:24comes to the losses, the responsibility, it still must be
- 13:2850% on the notain afilo al Qaeda onsin even onsin the LO kiesh
- 13:35Mekilian omatirin de mixas akayas and we're not make up by
- 13:38a partial akayas. Let's read gimel.
- 13:40This is a continuation by medevarium.
- 13:44I'm worrying, when do we say this?
- 13:47That yeah, that the proper scar. Batala Bishalo Pasak emo Bichila
- 13:51to ASIC when they didn't make an arrangement how much extra the
- 13:56manager is going to make. We're working on behalf of the
- 14:01noting. He told them we're just going to
- 14:05work 5050 fifty, 50% profits. That's great.
- 14:10They're all excited to work together.
- 14:11They have a great idea. One's investing the item, one's
- 14:14doing the work about in Pasaki Mobile as ASIC.
- 14:19But Dovre ya do have a feel of a dinar mutter.
- 14:22But if before they started working, when they took upon the
- 14:25job, he said from the very beginning, it's 5050, but I'm
- 14:30going to from that 5050, I'm going to pay you one dinar or
- 14:35$1.00 for the whole thing. Obviously it's a little bit
- 14:38ridiculous, but that's 100% mutter because it's it's
- 14:44everything here is Dirabhana and we just want to remove the
- 14:48concept of ribis that we don't want it to be looked like Alva
- 14:52or you learn from this case for other cases.
- 14:55OK, Hagar mikozai kisha echa no teina maot.
- 14:58This is when one of them is giving the money, right?
- 15:03You have one investor of a inko echa natan maot afila echad meet
- 15:07Asik afila echad meet Asik levad.
- 15:11But if they're both investing, even though only one is
- 15:14managing, only one is doing all the work, but they're both
- 15:17investing into the into the business.
- 15:20Incan iska. This is not the iska that we're
- 15:24talking about Allahabad Keshitzva alma is that's a
- 15:28partnership. The difference right when we
- 15:30said it, the whole thing of Iska, which is when Hester Iska,
- 15:34one person's lending money, this whole arrangement of this Simon
- 15:39is when it's Isco, when there's one investor and one manager.
- 15:45Otherwise it's a regular partnership.
- 15:47Fine, let's go to Dalit. Can they avoid a problem by
- 15:51instead of the investment investment partner giving a
- 15:55dollar as wage the managing? Partner, can you ask me?
- 15:59I don't giving. A dollar as investment?
- 16:02Sounds like in I I don't understand, sorry.
- 16:08It's Dalid Anotain Mala Caviro. OK, the person he's married to
- 16:15his friend for business, Stam Asik Baham Asik.
- 16:26Lower OK, so they make an arrangement normal case, which
- 16:30turns into a case of Iska. They don't specify what he's
- 16:33going to make for wages. And now when they come to split
- 16:36the profits, he doesn't want to pay him for all of his scar of
- 16:44work every single day. What he put into it.
- 16:51No, it doesn't. It's not a part.
- 16:52It's the regular iska. It means for the what he worked
- 16:55for him, for each other maybe and he if he had another work,
- 17:04Laura and he was working for him anyway, he doesn't want to pay
- 17:09him even the dinar. Yes, yes, Khara MIT Asik
- 17:14bachhezi hapikadon Schwish revach hapikadon Shu revach one
- 17:26second. So what do we say?
- 17:33We say some profits also could be a shwish skartircha.
- 17:39He could say I'm not paying you a full wage per day, but I will
- 17:43pay you. Basically it comes out to be 1/6
- 17:47of the profit or a shwish of the half, the sheaf of the half of
- 17:54the piccadon, which is 1/6 of the whole rebbe.
- 17:58If you got Imirviko, he told Hamitasik.
- 18:02So we're not going to spell it out on a piece of paper
- 18:05mathematically, but what comes out is the following.
- 18:09Imirviko, he told Mitasik. Schne Schliche, however, comes
- 18:15out that the the Mitasik, the manager actually doesn't get
- 18:225050 for all of all the work he has to get a scar Battala.
- 18:27He gets 2/3 of the profits. Why 2/3 of the profit again?
- 18:32Because that third is 1 paying and one gaining that 1/6 for the
- 18:38scar of doing the work for the mill that otherwise it'd be for
- 18:42the OR the denoting for the off of the Pikadan.
- 18:45Otherwise, again, it'd be a problem of ribis.
- 18:47So in other words we said before the managing partner always has
- 18:50to make more money then the straight 5050 and here it could
- 18:55be 2/3. I guess you can choose which
- 18:59one. Not 100% but I believe that's
- 19:01how it works. OK so he pays 2, pays him 2/3 of
- 19:06the profits and that avoids ribis.
- 19:08So again, shaheim shaheim melve ushto sareva biskarshinita
- 19:20asekwe bikada so nimzahakul shne shlisha revach.
- 19:24That's how it works out. If you if you want, we can
- 19:27figure it out on paper afterwards, but it it works out.
- 19:30So OK, so for some it's real simple and for some it's real
- 19:33complicated. But that is what it is.
- 19:36The itoval Hamas shlish revach. And therefore the one who who
- 19:43owns it only makes 1/3 of the profit, the IM Pakhto
- 19:48Yasiramatasek Shlish Haperhat. And if it goes down in value the
- 19:54managing partner one second, Shalisha Pekhat, he loses 1/3 of
- 20:00what goes down. Sheree Ukhayev Pekhetzi of
- 20:03Pekhat really is Hayev in half Melva because half is the Melva
- 20:10but he's still making a 6th profit on the on the for the
- 20:18scar of them working. From the half of the picadon,
- 20:22the Nimza Shinishar Allah of meh.
- 20:25So he has ends up has effectively he loses 1/3 and the
- 20:35investing partner, so he only makes 1/3 and he actually can
- 20:39lose 2/3. That losing third by the way,
- 20:42that happens to be a mahalo could be shown him.
- 20:44And oh why is it relevant. The Shah points out that the
- 20:49Sholkhanarak is following the Rambam and he doesn't understand
- 20:53why because normally we paska like the riff and the rush
- 20:58against the Rambam. So he leaves it basically, if I
- 21:01understand if I remember correctly, is it Sarah even on
- 21:03the Sholkhanarak? And it really should be the the
- 21:06one who loses loses the they share the loss 5050 a 100%
- 21:12equally. And that's that's the SAK of the
- 21:16Shah. But he points out everything
- 21:19until now, everything on this Alaka really depends on the
- 21:21minagamako. OK, should we stop?
- 21:25All right, fine, We'll stop.
