The profit is divided among partners according to the agreement in the contract, even if the capital differs, as stated by Imam Ahmad. As for the loss, it is borne proportionally to each partner's capital, and there is no disagreement among scholars on this matter. It is necessary to record each partner's capital and their respective profit percentages in the contract to safeguard rights and facilitate the dissolution of the partnership when needed. It is recommended to consult specialized scholars to clarify contract details and correct any deficiencies therein.
