Question
If Friend A asks Friend B: "I need a match for my niece, she is such and such and needs this and that..." and describes exactly what is needed... (without this description, Friend B would not know what might fit). Then Friend B says: "Maybe Friend C" (whom both know equally). And they left the idea. After some time, Friend A, who knows both, realized it might fit, expedited the match, and it came to fruition, thank God. Who is entitled to the matchmaking fee? The matchmaker received the fee for managing the match. Who is entitled to the proposal fee? Is it half and half or what exactly?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita:
Split the payment half and half.
