Question
I opened a bank account for my sister because the bank gives money to those who come to them. She wouldn't have done anything by herself, and I did it to earn money for myself. She agreed to this because she still has her regular bank, and opening a new account doesn't bother her. Do the money belong to me or to my sister? Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
If I understood the story correctly, she agreed that you open it for her and receive the profits, and if so, the profits belong to you.
If she only agreed to open the account, and did not agree that the profit would be yours, the profit belongs to her.
