What is the Sharīʿah's ruling regarding the rights of partners who have withdrawn from a commercial company and are demanding all expenses for preparing the premises without accounting for their depreciation, as well as expenses for repairing equipment, workers' wages, and their share of the paid rent?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The general rule for dissolving a partnership is that each partner receives their share of the profit and bears their share of the costs and losses. This requires inventorying the company's assets and appraising them at today's value, settling its debts and collecting its receivables. Then, the remainder is divided among the partners according to their shares. Therefore, the outgoing partners do not have the right to reclaim what they paid as is; rather, they bear what is due from them and are entitled to their share of the profit, if any, or they may agree with the remaining partners on a price for selling their share.
