The answer

This transaction is legally impermissible because in companies, losses are borne by the capital, and it is not permissible to stipulate a guarantee of the capital therein. Scholars have differed on whether this condition invalidates the company or if the company remains valid and only the condition is invalidated. However, specifying a guaranteed fixed amount to be given to the capital owner invalidates the company by scholarly consensus.
