What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding an agreement to pay a monthly sum from the profits of a struggling project, on the condition that the full profits be paid after two years, in order to avoid liquidation or resorting to the courts?

The agreement between partners to pay a non-refundable monthly sum in exchange for the continuation of the company is impermissible, due to the stipulation of a guaranteed, fixed profit, which invalidates the contract. Thus, whenever the share of one of the partners is specified as a known sum of money (dirhams), the partnership becomes void. Changing the agreed-upon profit during the Mudarabah (profit-sharing partnership) is permissible with the consent of both parties, provided that it is a percentage of the profit, not a fixed sum.
