The answer

This transaction combines a partnership and a temporary Mudarabah (commenda) for a specified period and a known percentage of the profit. This is Islamically permissible, as stated by Ibn Qudamah. Specifying a definite period for the Mudarabah is permissible according to the preponderant opinion among scholars. As for the statement, "the financier does not bear the risks of management," if it means that the capital is guaranteed or that the financier does not bear losses, then this is not permissible.
