What is the ruling on participating in a company that grants monthly profits at a specific rate (20%) with a guarantee of capital, except in cases of loss or bankruptcy?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The described scenario combines partnership (Sharika) and commenda (Mudaraba), and it is permissible, provided that the company does not guarantee the capital; because the partner's hand is a hand of trust (yad amanah), and that the partner's share in the profit is not a fixed amount or a percentage of the capital, but rather a common percentage of the profit. It is also a condition in a joint Mudaraba that the capitals be distinguished to avoid compensating the loss of one partner from the profits of the others.
