The mentioned company is a permissible (profit-sharing) company. Regarding the transaction conducted by the Rabb al-Mal (investor), the ruling depends on knowing whether his action was with the permission of the 'Amil ( Mudarib/agent) or on his own initiative, whether the transaction involved goods or cash, whether the capital for the transaction was all of the capital or only a part of it, and whether it was before or after the 'Amil's action. What happened must be clarified to determine the Shar'i (Islamic legal) ruling.
