It is permissible for two to enter into a partnership where one contributes with his capital and labor, and the other with his labor. This is considered a valid (profit-sharing partnership) according to the Hanbalis. The profit in such a partnership is distributed according to the agreement, while the loss is borne by the owner of the capital.
