It is not permissible to exploit another's money without their permission, such as through a loan or a legitimate (profit-sharing partnership). Doing so without permission is considered consuming people's wealth unjustly. If this occurs, does the owner have a right to the profits? Scholars have differed on this, whether profit is tied to effort or to capital.
