Is it permissible for a Muslim to partner with a Christian in raising sheep, or trading them, or any other trade?
It is permissible for a Muslim to partner with a non-believer in livestock, agriculture, and other ventures, provided that it does not lead to showing loyalty (al-Mawalah), committing something forbidden, or neglecting an obligation. It is preferable for the Muslim to manage the work himself, and partnering with other Muslims is superior to avoid risk to one's religion, morals, and wealth, except out of necessity, while observing the aforementioned conditions.
