What was asked about has two scenarios:
The first: If there is an actual partnership contract, then rescission is permissible by mutual consent. The second: If it is merely a promise to partner in the future, then it is permissible to withdraw from it, because fulfilling a promise is not obligatory according to the majority of scholars, unless the one who was promised entered into an obligation because of it, according to the Malikis.
