The answer

First: This transaction is called "" or "Qirad." It is permissible for the owner of the capital to enter into a Mudarabah with more than one person simultaneously, provided there is no harm to the first partner. In this case, there is no harm to the first partner because this type of pesticide is new to the shop.

Second: The principle is that profit should be shared between the owner of the capital and the Mudarib (the working partner). However, if they agree that one of them takes the profit exclusively, the contract is valid as a gift and donation. This transaction is called "Ibdah," where all the profit belongs to the capital owner.

Accordingly, there is no harm in this partnership, whether the first partner knows or not, and whether your mother-in-law waives all profits or not.
