Is it permissible to partner with friends, one of whom secures projects and the other secures materials through deferred payment purchases, and then the profits are equally divided after deducting expenses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Scholars have differed concerning the ruling on face-to-face (Wujuh) partnerships:

- The Malikis and Shafi'is held that it is invalid due to the absence of capital or labor, and because it involves Gharar (excessive uncertainty). - The Hanafis and Hanbalis held that it is permissible because it is a type of labor, people commonly engage in it, and it is a partnership in capital where profit can be differentiated.

Based on the view that it is permissible, there is no objection to the aforementioned partnership.
