The answer

This contract is void because it stipulates a fixed amount of money, which invalidates the partnership. It is not permissible for one of the partners to be given a fixed amount of money, or to profit from a specific, known sum. Rather, the share of each partner must be an undivided share of the profit. Furthermore, the condition of guaranteeing the capital in case of damage is considered a void condition.
